Thwack

Thanks for a prompt reply Dalo :) Windows media player up to date? Hmmm not sure will check - thank you. The TV access it via wifi and looks for media servers with DLNA - I believe.... but i don't know how the PCs broadcast DLNA.. The TV scans the network and brings back a list of servers it "finds" It never finds the big PC. The big PC is hard wired to the router. The laptop is wireless (G) to the router.. as is the TV.. Drivers ??? default ones on the windows 7 system, - I'll check them too. Thanks for the prompts, looks like I'm getting complacent in my old age...:o Danny

Hi All I've a small network at home and have just bought a Sony Bravia TV complete with Sony wifi dongle. The TV appears to be setup OK as I can see my vista laptop from the TV and view content on the laptop from the TV. However, I cannot see the "big" PC where all my films are stored. I'm running windows 7 ultimate 64bit with a "default" installation. So far I've Turned on "Automatically allow devices to play my media" - no change Turned on "allow remote control of Player" - no change turned off the firewall - no change installed "serviio" media streaming - no change uninstalled the media centre components of windows 7 - I can now see the "Big PCs" shared media icon from the laptop but not on the TV. removed all PC from the "home group" - no change As I support PC for a living I'm getting a fair bit of flac for this issue not being resolved.:mad: Any help\advice greatly received. ...otherwise I'll be doing a reinstall and paying a little more attention to the questions asked...:o It seems to me to be a permissions\security issue on the Win 7 box but i've no idea where to start with streaming media.. and I'm probably wrong:eek: Cheers Danny
