I'm pretty sure the NIC for the Theatre Network is out on our DSS200. It will only go into stand alone mode as it can not connect to the theatre network and see the Library. I've checked the CAT5 cable and the switch, all are good. I replaced the card with a Dual Server NIC that I had and it was able to connect to the Library but the Dual Card played havoc with the media block. I believe it crossed with the NIC for Media Block. I tried switching the cables for the Media Block but it just kept saying that it could not connect to the Media Block. Obviously, I need a new NIC for the theatre network but I'd like to save some money by not buying directly from Dolby. Does anyone have a card?

the MB in your server is likely to be a Supermicro. Get the code of the Ethernet card and google it! [Smile]

Newer servers don't have that card, the ports are all embedded on the motherboard.
