| | Posted: | | | | According to the bottom of DVDP, my program shows "Shared on 'PC' (192.168.0.107) , port 32847: 0 connected. I go into Tools, Options, Sharing and click on the radio button for "any computer" and hit the test button, it goes to the internet and says : Testing shared connection on your computer at IP address 69.10.213.68, port 32847. Unable to connect. Your collection is not accessible from the Internet. Please check the configuration of your local firewall and/or router and try again. Unable to connect. Your collection is not accessible from the Internet. Please check the configuration of your local firewall and/or router and try again. Why is it trying to share a different IP address? No matter what I try I can't get it to share with my iPad app or get the test button to work???  |

Why is it trying to share a different IP address? No matter what I try I can't get it to share with my iPad app or get the test button to work??? Is the 69.10.213.68 the IP address of your router - don't forget that is the IP address which is visible from the internet? I would just ignore the TEST button.. just try and access the database on the 192 IP address from your ipad. (and make sure the ipad is connecting to the same router as your Pc (if you have more than one). I share just within my WIFI network - so I don't go out to the internet. | | | | Paul |

| | Posted: | | | | If you don't need sharing via internet/3G, just check "My network (subnet) only" instead of "Any computer". Also look at Taro's guide. Running Windows as a virtual machine can also result in different IP addresses. |

But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Or you get simultaneous access, but then with very restricted rights for the clients. One would be fine. I have a big laptop, which is my primary computer, a little laptop for extra portability and a gaming beast hooked to the TV. Just being able to properly edit remotely from one place at a time would be useful. |

| | Posted: | | | | That's easy then.
Two possibilities:
A: With NAS (Network Attached Storage) or Server
1) Close DVDProfiler
2) Copy your database folders from your local machine to the NAS
3) Open DVDProfiler again
4) Open menu "File -> Open Database ..." and point DVDProfiler to the new location of your database
5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 on all clients one-by-one
B: With a local database only
1) Close DVDProfiler on the host
2) Allow Remote-Access to the database folder
3) Open DVDProfiler on the clients (one-by-one!) and point it to the database as above
Known problems:
DVDProfiler locks the database for all other instances of the same program.
So if DVDProfiler ends unexpected (e.g. Crashes) you'd have to do the next access from this client.
When trying to open an already active database DVDProfiler will refuse startup and offer you alternatives. Never choose "Cancel" or "Abort" but choose "Open New database". With aborting the startup you will lose several custom layout settings (Icon-sizes, Custom colours in Overview and HTML windows, etc...( | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | I have my DB on a home server and access it using multiple machines. My only concern is that a version mismatch between the different clients might screw up the DB. Is this something that is likely to happen? |

| | Posted: | | | | That depends:
If the version mismatch is to be found in different versions of DVDProfiler: Yes!
If the version mismatch is to be found in different versions of your OS: No! | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
