WHS Server not showing up in Vista network

Jed Shields · 19 Jun 2009 at 17:39

Hi guys,

my WHS server has all my moves and TV shows on it. My network originally showed SERVER as one of the attached PCs, along with Jed-PC, Bec-PC and HTPC. However, now it's missing on Jed-PC and HTPC, but is there on Bec-PC. Also, the SHARED FOLDERS folder that links to my Server folders works fine, so it's obviously attached to the network with all PCs being able to access it that way. Any idea what's going on?

My main problem now is that I need to map my films and TV shows in Media Portal on my HTPC, but without the SERVER on the network I can't browse to the location.

Can you map //<server IP>/<share>? e.g. //192.168.0.10/movies. If you know the server name or IP and the name of the share (which you should seeing as you set them up) you don't need to browse them in the list.
