Is the switch involved when using XBMC installed on the same PC?
If this problem occurs MinimServer can't be found at all.
I am pretty shure it's a MinimServer/PC problem. XBMC can be used even without being connected to my network, I did some tests awhile ago (for the same Thread).

The switch might be involved when XBMC is connecting to MinimServer and both XBMC and MinimServer are running on the same PC. This is because MinimServer is sendng multicast "alive" messages on the loopback adapter for the PC (127.0.0.1) and also on the normal network IP address for the PC. Depending on which of these addresses XBMC is using to access MinimServer, the switch might or might not be involved.
