Can the problem be raleted to your firewall? At page 26 in the manual it says that there could be connection problem if you don't have opend up for these ports in the firewall: Port 3483 (UDP) Port 3483 (TCP) Port 9000 (TCP) //Stig -- stigb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stigb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12432 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45168 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
