First off, I love the software.

I have the server side up and running great

I am trying set up the client client of the software and i got as far where its asking for a server name. I've tried IP address (10.0.1.10), localhost, and computer-name. I know everyone has a different setup but what would a sample server name look like.

Thanks in advance

If by client, you mean a client on a different machine than the server then using localhost definitely will not work.  That one only works on the server machine.  As for server name, my experience has been that using the server name in all caps works well.  For example me server is 'MediaServer' but is addressed as 'MEDIASERVER' in OML.  I also have been able to hard code IP's (i.e. 192.168.0.100) but this method requires either a DHCP reservation for the server box or statically defined IP's in your network so the server address doesn't arbitrarily change.  If your still having connectivity issues it's most likely the windows firewall.  I had to disable on my server.  Hope that helps

PaganOne is correct that you should use the machine name (PaganOne-interesting enough my server is named mediaserver as well). If you are having trouble, first ping the machine from the command prompt. If you get a ping response see our page concerning firewalls http://code.google.com/p/open-media-library/wiki/ConfiguringWindowsFirewall

Turned off the firewall, worked like a charm! Thank you guys, I didn't think of that.
