At this time the preferred PC is connected to my home network via wifi and to my Audio PC via ethernet cable. This is a completely fresh install of Windows 8.1 with nothing more installed than the necessary audio software. Windows firewall is completely disabled in the control panel. Yet I still cannot see Minimserver from any network control panel.

Kazoo can see Minimserver locally on that machine. Bubble can see JPlay and it finds other libraries on the network, but not the correct library. Is there something I'm missing such as file sharing or file permissions required to share Minimserver?

I am unclear on what could be the cause or what to try next. Thank you for the support.

It sounds like the audio PC has the same subnet as the rest of your network. This is likely to cause the problem you are seeing because the ohNet stack used by MinimServer is only able to use one network adapter for each subnet. If ohNet has chosen to use the crossover network adapter, MinimServer won't be visible to the rest of your network.

How is the audio PC connected to the rest of your network? Is it connected only via the crossover cable to the other PC or does it have another adapter with a network connection?
