I want to review what I think I know in the hope of finding where my
probelm lies.
1) Have the latest update to my TIVO DVR.
2) Have the latest sw from the TIVO web site; installed and 'started.'
3) Have files - photo and music - published.
4) Tivo server and TIVO beacon are running.
5) TIVO web site shows 'tranfers allowed.'
6) If there is a place in System Info that should show 'Transfers
allowed,' I can't find it.
7) When I test the connection I succeed.
8) TIVO can connect wirelessly though my router to 'outside' to get updates.
9) TIVO DVR has been assigned an IP addres and signal strength is excellent.
10) I have checked my TIVO 15-digit #, network name, network password
and all are correct - obvious since TIVO can dial out through the network.
11) I have the PC IP address entered correctly in TIVO Central on the DVR.
12) I have disabled Norton Firewall, confirmed Windows firewall is
'OFF,' shutdown Norton Intrusion Protection, Privacy, and Antivirus.
Still when I go to TIVO and select 'Music and Photos' and select the IP
Address for the PC or router, I get 'Server not found.'
What am I missing?

You have to open up ports on the router now.
