Hi berkyj, I see you have read my previous post on this so I would suggest you have a good look at the 640H set up again as jb seemed to get his to work OK. If you follow *all* the tips I have already said and it still wont work please get back to us here with some specific questions. Cheers TT <berkyj@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1153650371.750646.147780@m79g2000cwm.googlegroups.com... : Hi TT (and others), : : I've recently bought a Cambridge Audio 640H Music Server along with a : couple of other bits of CA gear (Azur 540R and the DVD89 player). : Anyway I'm buggered if I can get the networking happening on the : 640H. I've assigned it an IP within my network and done all the other : stuff as planned but it just won't find my share that has all my MP3s : in it. : : Does it matter that my computers are hooked up via a network switch : elsewhere in the house and the 640H is connecting to that switch via : Ethernet cables running through the walls (the cables all work because : I've plugged my laptop into the socket where the 640H is and it : connects to the shared folder ok)?? : : Any suggestions? My computers are also part of a Windows Domain as well : - not sure if that makes a difference or not (don't know that it : should). : : Cheers muchly : : Berk McGowan : berk@bigcat.net.au : : TT wrote: : > "jb" <johnabutler2@hotmail.com> wrote in message : > news:1152546683.295233.256350@m73g2000cwd.googlegroups.com... : > : : > : TT wrote: : > : : > : : > : > : > : > Well actually it is very easy.
