Hi,

I've been running MJ on my day to day PC but wanted to run it on another PC that would be running 24x7

I installed XP Pro on a Dell 8200

I made exceptions on my router and firewall to allow for ports 5060 & 5070

The only thing attached to this box is power, network cable, MJ and a webcam. I connect to the PC via Remote Desktop (RDP) from my main PC.

After MJ fires up I the error message:

I wouldn't suggest RDP. Download teamviewer which is free for personal use and works great. You just have to go in the settings to make sure it accepts LAN connections. I went a step further and have it set to only accept LAN connections.

I think the error you are getting is RDP trying to map the sound device to your PC.

Thanks for the info stroths. Going to read up on teamviewer. I'm assuming is would need to reside on both PC's?

It does need to run on both PC's. The thin client would need it to run all the time while the client PC would only need it running when you want to connect.

There is also a portable version of it if you wanted to carry it around on a USB stick. This would only matter if you were planning on accessing the PC outside of your LAN.

Stroths,

Worked like a charm!!!

I installed the server version on the MJ box and Full Version on my main PC rebooted and it's all good in MJ Land!

the alternative way to fix this, as I like rdp.
