MJ and windows home server
I am running a windows home server network. I would like to plug the magic jack into the server itself because it is the only computer that stays on 24/7. When I moved the MJ over to the server, it stopped recognizing the telephone. I have the phone plugged in but I cannot select it in the software. Any thoughts?

a little more info
I thought the Dec. upgrade might have got me in trouble but when I switched it back to my XP box everything worked fine.
Re: a little more info
Maybe the other box's USB ports aren't powered the same? Maybe not enough power to even recognize the phone? MJ's USB device requires a lot of power. Some say the recent upgrade made it worse. You could try a different phone and/or a powered USB hub. MJ users have recommended this one:fightingcarp wrote:I thought the Dec. upgrade might have got me in trouble but when I switched it back to my XP box everything worked fine.
