I too have tried and failed to get whitebear working on Windows 2003 (Small Business Server in my case). Like you I can see the DNLA server when browsing the network from a Vista machine but I can'y see any of the music. I have had success in the past with TVersity (although I don't like it) so it must be possible to run a uPNP server on 2003. I even managed to install WMP11 on 2003 and that worked too (but was rather unstable). I hear that SBS7.6 will have native uPNP/DNLA support so hopefully that will get things going. -- indifference_engine 2xReceiver, 2xController, 1xSB3, 2xSqueezeSlave, SBS 7.5.3 Inventor of SqueezeIR applet for the Controller ------------------------------------------------------------------------ indifference_engine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20698 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80632 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
