The only PC or laptop (wired or wireless) that can see MinimServer is the one on which it is actually running. MinimServer has a green icon in the sys tray on that PC, Kazoo can browse the music library, but the Linn will not play music when it is selected.

These symptoms point to the problem being caused by external inbound connections to MinimServer on the music PC being blocked.

Do you have an antivirus program runnng on the music PC? This could cause the problem you are seeing.

Are you sure that the firewall is completely disabled on the music PC (not just disabled for "home network")?

Another possibility is that something in your router is blocking inbound connections to the music PC. You could eliminate this possibility by connecting both the Linn streamer and the music PC to your switch instead or your router.

With problems like this, a useful debugging technique is to reduce the setup to a bare minimum. This would be just your router, the Linn streamer and the music PC with all these connected by wired Ethernet.
