MCE Client error

[gvagolf]

Hello

I have installed Mcontrol on my windows home server. I installed the MCE add-in on my Vista Media Center which worked successfully. However, when I tried to run the Mhome application it stated the the program couldn't run and it gave me the option to disable the application. When I attempted to run the Mcontrol ui it stated that I must be connected to the internet (which I am). I checked the Windows firewall settings but couldn't find anything that would be giving me problems. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Thank you very much. It was the firewall problem. The funny part is that I have the Windows Firewall turned off on my client machine and this would not work until I enabled ports 29990 - 29995 even with firewall disabled. Thanks again for the help.

Hopefully I will eventually catch on even though I am the slow kid!
