[wellylug] Re : music server running mpd

[Rob Collins]

Hi Frédéric (and others if you can help!).  Just picking up from where 
we left off re mpd.  Have since bought a acer L series box that I will 
use as the mpd player.  I have set up wireless and wired D-Link router 
network and wirelessly attached my laptop which i want to use as the mpd 
client end using sonata.  I have wired the acer L series as the mpd 
server direct to the router also.  I can get mpd playing locally on both 
machines if I'm directly accessing each of them but I cannot get sonata 
to control mpd remotely on the other!  There is a connection setup tab 
for networked mpd stuff but no syntax seems to work in the "host" box.  
I've tried user at 192.168.x.x and ip address just on it's own.  Am I 
missing an initial mpd.conf editing step?  Is there some port I need to 
open on my router? Could the routers firewall be putting spanner in 
works?  There seems to be something to do with port 6600 and do I still 
want that if I'm trying for a networked mpd?

cheers,

Rob
