Prereqs for WinMyth include:
-Making sure you're properly set up for remote frontends (RTFM)
-Making sure any firewalls are properly configured (or disabled if
you're brave, or is that stupid?)
-Having the DSMyth stuff installed and working
-Having the .Net runtime installed
I had to solve all of the above problems before realizing I didn't care
for the interface and my wireless is way too slow... Ah well, one of
these days I'll install Linux on the work laptop anyway.
