Thanks for the reply! I have made the IP address change in meadianet.xml as well as enabled the Rio. I have made an exception for medianet.exe in the windows firewall as well as tried with it disabled. I'll try messing around with synchronizing the server/powering up the receiver. When the attempt to connect times out, the Rio shows the proper IP received from my router so I know it is connected to the network ok. Also, it has no problem loading the trio client from ARM when using trio but I really want to try medianet. I will mess with it some more. Any other suggestions?
