Kraven Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 We have a situation where the MC does not have a direct internet connection. Do you know if we set up ICS on a pc on the network the AMG server will be able to go out and get the cover art via the shared connection? Currently the server is coming back with UNKNOWN and I know these are new movies. What are installers doing for clients with dial up situations. ICS "Internet Connection Sharing" with XP.

Samer Shami Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Technically speaking, it should work. However, every installer knows that theory hardly ever matches up with practise. I personally have not verified this because we have always had a broadband connection available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meyerssb Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 It also will depend on the dialup provider, before I switched to broadband last summer I had a dialup account and it didn't allow internet connection sharing. I don't know how they determine how many computers or internet devices are out requesting data from the internet, but they would disconnect me if I had a second computer connected. With my broadband account (local wireless provider) they told me they thought it restricted multiple connections, but I have 3 computers and the HTC connected to it. It works fine, never had an once of trouble. Blake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Wired Up! Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I think it could also be a port blocking issue with the ISP couldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
