Server quitting on me

[ajanjigian]

Dave -

Sometimes when I'm using net tunes, it works for awhile, then I get the spinning cursor of death when I go to pull up the client window. If I force quit and restart the client, the server is no longer listed. When I go to the server machine, I find that the server is no longer running, I restart it, and everything works fine again.

Two questions: 1) do you know why it is quitting like this, and 2) Is there/could there be a way to start the server from the client, so I don't have to go to the server machine to do it?

Thanks as ever,
Andrew

That's curious: it sounds like the server has crashed. Please check Library/Logs/CrashReporter on your server for a netTunes Server crash log. If you find one, send it to support and I'll take a look.

Regarding starting the server from the client -- you need a connection to the server from the client to do it... so, not really, no, unless you use some *other* server running, like VNC or ARD.
