Partial succes -- Audio now works just fine. It turned out that my
Sonicwall Firewall did not all Broadcast/Multicast and I had to figure
out where I needed to check/uncheck to get this part working. Anyways,
so now, my video gives me "blank screen" with errors like:

The next time I did it I had to reboot because my frontend froze.
Anything from my side that I need to do?
