I didnt have success upon connecting I tried vista server and winxp pro viewer in the same subnet.

However the uninstall.bat did remove the service..

Start service --> did you see the tray icon

** If auto detect fails, you can manual enter the server IP
viewer, tray icon->menu

**settings.exe
If your PC has multiple cards, you need to run settings.exe to set the
network card the server use to listen to connections.
Standard he only bind to the first card..

network card the server use to listen to connections.
Standard he only bind to the first card..

I did do that i set the settings on both the server side and the viewer side[/quote]

Perhaps try it manual first...
Run mv.exe as application, when you are able to connect as application,
Let the service start mv.exe

Try also with firewalls disabled, could be a locking issue.

ok... will try to that.. when running as a service I am unblocking it. the viewer will bring up a dos box saying unable to read

[bevtech]

It will work but will not automatically you have to manually enter the ip of the server into the viewer..
