Problems setting up GB-PVR as source on Popcorn Hour NMT

[lpw156]

This is my 1st post on the forums - so please go easy on me.
I'm the happy owner of an A110 PH NMT (diskless) streaming etc via SMB & NFS.
I recently installed the dummies version of mvpmcx2/gbpvr to my main PC where it is working like a dream and I can access and control the GBPVR inerface via the network browser on the NMT.
However, I cannot get the NMT to access the GBPVR directly when setting it up as source.
Can somebody give me a real dummies guide to setting up this up as I've read through all the relevant threads and tried the steps suggested and either get a URL not recognised error or a 'source cannot be accessed' error from the NMT.
Thanks if anybody can help.

When you access the following url, from your PC's browser, you must see the same name as used in the url accessed by GB-PVR.htm. Some people have made a change to the default name.

http://##.##.##.##:8883/network_share.html

Thanks for your help Martin.
I cannot access http://xx.xx.xx.xx:network share.html from my browser using the PCH network address for the xx etc.
From the PCH I can access GB-PVR via Network Browser but still cannot set it up as a source on the PCH.
I've checked the gbpvr.cgi and all seems correct in terms of network address and mvpmc folder (default settings) so I'm at a loss to work out what I've done wrong here.
Any ideas?

Did you include the :8883 when you accessed your PCH?

Here is a link show the basic trouble shooting steps http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=40394 that were followed yesterday that highlights the three most likely causes for a setup failure. Have a look at it to see if you get some ideas. We can then move on from there.

I sorted out the problem:
I needed a fixed Network address for the NMT - not one assigned by my router which had changed since installation.
I then needed to go http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8883/network_share.html (I wasn't using the underscore between network & share).
Finally I needed to rename the Share Name on the NMT to MyComputerName:mvpmc as per the thread above & all worked.
Thanks for your help!
