Have you pointed your SB to it yet? The server's IP or name has probably changed. > Also, when installing on XP, it lead me through the steps to point to my > music folder.

At the top left you can select between icon view and text view - select text view and when you see your files, copy the text line and paste it into SS - Server Settings - Music Folder. Check permissions - SS may not have read permission on the files. I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this myself, but an insecure way is in a command terminal, "sudo chmod -R 777 <your music folder path>". 777 gives read, write and execute access to everyone. This is not secure at all. Ideally you'd allow only root, yourself and SlimServer read/write access, read-only for everyone else, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do this. > Also, I am used to "starting slim server" from my system tray in XP.

It always runs, and it always starts at startup. If you ever want to stop it: "sudo /etc/init.d/slimserver stop" and to start "sudo /etc/init.d/slimserver start". -- Mark Lanctot 'Sean Adams' Response-O-Matic checklist, patent pending!'
