    Canīt find players when restarting server

    Hi,
    Everytime I restart the server the boom canīt find the server again.
    I try to restart the boom and go through setup. I get to the point where itīs supposed to connect to iTunes and then it fails.
    Very annoying especially since I canīt find the logic of when they connect again. I normally fix it after a lot of trials and errors.
    Can anyone help me here?

    Thanks in advance
    /Markus

    Do you have fixed IP (reserved DHCP) for the server?

    Yes, I believe so. Not 100% sure how to check that though.

    Also I noticed a message in the control panel that I do not have administrator status and cant stop/start the server background service. Seems I have to constantly start the server manually by rightclicking and "run as administrator". Could that have something to do with it? And how do I fix so it automaticly sees me as administrator.

    Thanks

    What's the server's OS?

    in START menu, find LMS program, right click, choose properties, then select compatibility tab. On this tab there is a place to check a box to always run this program as administrator.

    Thanks a lot!
    Seems that solving the admin problem solved the whole thing.
