| | Vista Home Premium Network Capability Does Vista Home Premium have the capability to set up a client/server private network? I am trying to set up a Hauppauge MediaMVP device with my pc over a wired (crossed wire) direct connection and keep getting messages that the device cannot get an IP address from my pc, altho my network seems to be ok. Thanks. |

Thanks. server on the network. In home networks, this is usually done by a router. In work networks with a server, this is usually done by an actual server although it can be done with a router there, too. I'm not sure what you're doing but it seems to me that you probably want to assign static IP addresses. Your computer would not act as a DHCP server in any case which is why you're getting that error message. Vista Home Premium cannot act as a real server, but I'm not sure that you need that anyway.
