i know i've been using this board for a year but i'm trying to find out how to connect to my media center from my computer.

i enabled all connections on and connected to media computer via ethernet cable. tried to remote connect but connection was denied.

is there a possibility to get this to work?

What exactly you want to do?

Remote Control, and sharing files are two different things, whic one you need.

To make sure that networl connetion is working, http://www.ezlan.net/debug.html

To Share.

Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared.
