Hi TT (and others),

I've recently bought a Cambridge Audio 640H Music Server along with a
couple of other bits of CA gear (Azur 540R and the DVD89 player).
Anyway I'm buggered if I can get the networking happening on the
640H. I've assigned it an IP within my network and done all the other
stuff as planned but it just won't find my share that has all my MP3s
in it.

Does it matter that my computers are hooked up via a network switch
elsewhere in the house and the 640H is connecting to that switch via
Ethernet cables running through the walls (the cables all work because
I've plugged my laptop into the socket where the 640H is and it
connects to the shared folder ok)??

Any suggestions? My computers are also part of a Windows Domain as well
- not sure if that makes a difference or not (don't know that it
should).

Cheers muchly

Berk McGowan

No problemo :-)

TIP When recording analog sources to it (e.g. LPs) I just
hit record, drop the needle and record all of the side. I
then drag the file across the network to my main computer
into Cool Edit Pro, split it into tracks with names, top and
tail the tracks with fade in/out and them manually
de-click/pop. Then burn to CD for storage.

This gives a very good and quick result.

Also any album I think I may buy I first download the MP3
onto my main computer, listen to it in my system through the
640H's network connection so I can get a good idea of what
it will really sound like before handing over the hard
earned.

Cheers TT
