Perhaps, but I've noticed that with my empeg, emplode is more sensitive to network settings. For example, I can ping an empeg all day long that is connected via a crossover cable, but emplode won't see it if the last number in the IP is more than a few numbers away from the IP on the PC. Differant subnet? Forget it!

I only have experience with peer-to-peer, but make sure the IP's are very close.
