I am using domain accounts. When the box was on the domain, I could not use
MCX, but I could access the recorded TV files from any pc on my network
using WMP. Now that my MCE box is off the domain, MCX works, but I can't
get to the recorded files with WMP, nor can I get to the box via remote
desktop. Seems like something is missing here...
