Remote speaker client showing as local?

[neiltimms]

I have a pc running speaker client, this is what shows in the log when it connects:

/16/2007 7:44:23 PM ~!~Info~!~Speaker client connected from: 192.168.1.114
5/16/2007 7:44:23 PM ~!~Info~!~Speaker host added, Name: touchscrn1 IP address: 127.0.0.1

This is what shows in my hs setup screen:

<TABLE cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=tableroweven noWrap align=left colSpan=5>HOMETROLLER05 (127.0.0.1)</TD><TD class=tableroweven noWrap align=left>DEFAULT</TD></TR><TR><TD class=tablerowodd noWrap align=left colSpan=5>TOUCHSCRN2 (192.168.1.55)</TD><TD class=tablerowodd noWrap align=left>DEFAULT</TD></TR><TR><TD class=tableroweven noWrap align=left colSpan=5>TOUCHSCRN1 (127.0.0.1)</TD><TD class=tableroweven noWrap align=left>DEFAULT</TD></TR><TR><TD class=tablerowodd noWrap align=left colSpan=5>LAPTOP (192.168.1.117)</TD><TD class=tablerowodd noWrap align=left>DEFAULT</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

How is this possible?

How are you starting your speaker clients?

[neiltimms]

from a shortcut in the startup folder.

Oddly enough it works, but i cannot even ping this computer at it's actual ip address.

what is going on? any clue?

I'm confused. It looks like you are simply starting a local speaker client on the HomeTroller. What's the ipaddress of the HomeTroller?

[neiltimms]

Look at the ip address that is showing for Touchscrn1 - 127.0.0.1 !!

This isn't possible (i thought)

I wonder if this is just a code error. 192.168.1.114 doesn't show up in the list at all yet it was shown in the log as connecting. Do all the speaker clients work?

[neiltimms]

Fixed it!

It was caused by the stupid windows xp firewall on the PC!

Very weird but all ok now

Thanks
