Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions for the networking guru's

I concur. Port forwarding is necessary because although your network has a number of devices with their own IPs, as far as the rest of the internet is concerned, you only have one - the IP allocated to you by your ISP. It will be different to your internal IPs - it won't start with 192.168.1. You have port forwarding so your router knows which device to send the incoming data to, according to the port number attached to each incoming packet.

It's like phoning the switchboard and asking for extension 41952.

Good analogy.

I still am having problems with Tversity media server and the denon. It seems liek very day or two the denon shows it as "TVersity media server (Not Authroized)" and I have to reset the media server.

I have port 41952 set to "open" or "allowed" on my windows firewall on the machine that runs TVersity, I have tjhe port forwarded in my router settings (with the IP address for the computer that has TVersity), and I disabled any other virus protection spyware or firewalls that that computer had besides windows firewall.

The same computer has a media server set up with Windows media player and it never needs to be reset... I can't share flac files with WMP or else I would get rid of TVersity alltogether.

Any other ideas?

Thanks, allthough I think your link should be titled TVersity fourms not Twonky forums

I just posted a thread over at TVersity b/c I couldn't find any results with a google search (it actually pointed to this thread) and didn't think about trying the search feature over at TVersity. I will see if this works and report back in a day or two after I have had a chance to confirm.

Fixed the link David... I had Twonky on the brain while writing the response b/c that is what I use at home. After using both, I prefer Twonky, but b/c I don't stream FLAC, that limitation with Twonky isn't a factor for me.

I prefer Twonky largely because it handles video streaming better for the HD videos from my camcorder. Otherwise I've found the two to be pretty similar for my purposes.

Hopefully the fix works for you!

There is an add-on to WMP11 that allows you to share FLAC files.

or this one

http://flac.sourceforge.net/download.html

I downloaded the addon (the one from sourceforge) and now I can play flac files with WMP... however I still can't stream them over the network. Are you sure one of those patches should that should allow you to stream them as well as play them?

Anyway, I popped open the denon the denon GUI this morning and it sure seemed like myrison's fixed worked. Hopefully that will still be the case when I try it again.

Cool, glad to hear it. Funny thing is, I used Tversity for awhile and remember seeing that message in the past but ignoring it as I navigated past it through my Twonky menu. Never bothered to look it up for myself at the time.

Yeah, I have been dealing with this problem for a year now... just created an icon titled "restart TVersity" on my desktop and got into the habit of walking back to my computer every time I wanted to listen to music.
