It's been probably two years now since I last used ushare, but, it was the easiest and most reliable of the bunch for doing what I wanted, which was just to browse my directory structure - none of the annoying automatic categorization and cluttered menus. The fatal flaw was not being able to stream to two players at once (not talking about synchronizing here, just different streams to multiple players). I can't remember exactly what happened though either the second player would error out when attempting to start a track or it just didn't see the server as you described. Maddening and I never had the opportunity to ask anyone to test it to see if it was my specific setup or what...
