Just start your web browser and go to http://192.168.1.2:9000/ ... where 192.168.1.2 is replaced by the IP number of your server. Depending on your networking, you may even be able to get away with putting the 'server name' there. I have found the 'default' skin is a bit constrained strained on the small display, and usually use fishbone (add 'fishbone' to the end of the url above) which deals a bit better with small screens. 'classic' may work for you, too. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62412 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
