Could Not Find Media Server After Wired Connection
Jul 18, 2012
I run a media server to share two devices in my home (PS3, WDHD). I used to run these over a wireless connection.Now I run them over a wired connection and have encountered numerous problems by combining that wired connection with my new dlink dir-655 router.To begin with, my PS3 wasn't finding the media server unless I restarted the media server while the PS3 was on.Once I restarted the PS3 it could no longer find the media server again.I opened a TCP port on the windows firewall that was used by the media server app. The PS3 started finding the media server.

I have a US Robotics 5462 router and a D-Link DCM-202 cable modem on Comcast. I've had this router for years and initially configured it for wireless access using a Windows XP system (this router requires you to configure it via Ethernet and 192.168.2.1). That computer stopped working last year, so I got a new computer running Windows 7.When I first got this new PC, I could not connect to my router via Ethernet (just like I can't now), but I was still able to connect to the wireless network I had previously set up, so I was satisfied.
A year went by, and last week I was suddenly unable to access my wireless network, so I did a factory reset on the router, erasing my previously configured wireless network and requiring me to connect the router to my computer via Ethernet to reconfigure the router. I tried to do this, but despite all of the correct LEDs being lit on the router, I could not access 192.168.2.1. A little poking around on my control panel revealed that my LAN was being labeled as an "Unidentified Network" and there was "No Internet Access." I tried to make it a private network, but that didn't fix the issue.
I searched around for a while and read some advice to try running ipconfig. When I did that, I saw "Media Disconnected" for my LAN adapter. I've tried a few of the possible solutions already with no luck. With the same computer and the same Ethernet cable directly connected to my modem instead of through the router, I *CAN* get online. That's how I'm connected right now. Also, I have no problem accessing any wi-fi networks.

I have been searching forums for the last 2 hours and trying to figure out how to make this work. I tried to release/renew and it told me it couldn't and got the media disconnected message. I tried the TCP/IP and Winsock renew and that didn't work either. My internet was working OK and then all the sudden it stopped working. [code]

I've enabled the Media Server on my E3000 router. My PS3 can see the server and play media from it by my PCs can't!
I'm using Windows Media Player v 12.0 on Windows 7 and some older version on Windows XP and it's my understanding that the Media Server should appear under the "Other Libraries" section but it does not.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a bug in the E3000 firmware (I have the latest as of this date) or is the Media Server simply not compatible with Windows Media Player? compatible media player for Windows 7?
I did read a post about a firmware upgrade on the 4200 that broke the media player, but I don't know if such a problem exists for the E3000.

I purchased the EA6500 a few days ago, and when I'm connected to Cisco Connect Cloud I am unable to select Folder Access / FTP Server / Media Server. I click them and nothing happens.Also, the Cisco light on the router keeps blinking.

I recently cleaned my hard drive, but forgot to save my drivers.
Now after installing Windows XP, I can't access the internet and I can't save anything because I keep getting insufficient memory errors (but my drive is almost empty), but I have been able to update drivers.
I have managed to recover some of the drivers but I can't figure out what I have to do to get my desktop to access the web. I have tried directly connecting to my router and using my wireless USB adapter (whose driver I can't install because of an insufficient error message).
My computer is a HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7640n Desktop that I bought several years ago:

In device manager, i only have 3 question marks left under Other Devices: Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus, Compact Wireless-G USB Adapter, and Multimedia Video Controller.
So far I've installed these drivers off the HP website:

Fall 2006 Original Asus Modem Drivers
Fall 2006 Original NVIDIA Chipset Drivers

I have a pc that i have setup right now as my media server with tversity that is connected to my lan and uses my cable modem. the problem with that is that when im downloading torrents it eats up all the bandwith and the media server lags. i also have a separate dsl modem in my office that i used to need for work but is no longer being used. how would i go about connecting my media server pc to the dsl modem to use that connection just for it, and still have the pc hooked to my lan so i can access it with my xbox.

1. Apple extreme router. Newest model. Full updates.
2. HP media smart server 495 running WHS 2011. Upgraded memory. Very stable and full updates.
3. Typical Win7 gaming machine from last year. It was about $1200 at the time, no issues.
4. Cat5e cabling.
5. A gigabit switch, but both the win7 and server are connected to the router.
I'm only asking about WIRED issues. When I'm copying files from my computer to server using teracopy I'm only getting about 10-11 Mb. Consistently.
I had made a thread earlier about getting a new synology server but could I have a more fundamental issue? Reason I'm asking, I copied a file from my wireless laptop to my server and it was almost 1/2 the time for the same file from win7 to server. I'd love to get the synology but kinda hard to justify $1000+ when things seem to be stable.

We live in a large ranch styled house. Conversely, we installed two broadband connection at opposite ends of the home. One cable and one DSL. Reason: Kids share DSL and Parents have the cable all to themselves. We are currently wanting to setup a media server where both networks would have access to a database of media files. It would be in the middle of the house and each network would connect to it wirelesslyI guess first off, is this possible

I have a wireless N router (DIR-655) in bridge mode connected to a TWC combo modem/wireless G router. I have Tversity media server running on a computer connected to the TWC, but my PS3 which is connected wirelessly to the TWC combo can't see Tversity. What am I missing? Do I need to forward some port from somewhere? FYI, I'm set-up this way so my N router can deliver full N speed, and my G devices connect to the slower TWC router. Everything sees the internet with no problem. Also, to note that devices connected to the D-link can see Tversity, but devices connected to the TWC cannot see Tversity

I have a Netgear DG470N gigabit modem and I am streaming 1080P films from a 2TB networked hard drive onto a LG 42inch Smart TV viat wired ethernet. Sometimes the films crash and the TV cannot reopen the network folder with the film in until a reset is done on the modem. Is there a high speed gigabit switch that I can use to improve this or should I get some media controlling software?

I have a WD USB with approx 70,000 songs on it. When I try and scan the Music, it gets approx halfway though the songs, then the Media Servers stops all communications.
The only way I can get the Media Server to recover is to power cycle the E4200

How to get playists to work on the EA4500 Media Server? I have the Music folder share working with a Roku Soundbridge, so now would like to copy my iTunes playlists to this folder as well. I've tried creating a .m3u file in the Music folder but the Soundbridge doesn't recognize it. I put the following one line in this file, which just points to the file stored on the disk connected to the EA4500.

I am having difficulty getting my HP Officejet Pro 8500(A910) configured to save digital faxes to my Iomega 2TB Home Media Sever (cloud edition). My home network is setup through a Linksys E4200.I was able to successfully configure it to save to a folder on my PC, but I do not want to leave it running 24/7.I believe the breakdown is in the Authentication part of the setup... It asks for the Windows username and password, which works fine for the PC setup but not for anywhere else. Do I use the UN & PW for the home media server if I'm saving to one of its folders? If so, how do I correctly type the path? It is communicating with the folder and leaving an alphanumeric file saved inside the folder when I use the 'save and test' option, but it breaks down from there.

My WRT610N media server is not serving up large, MKV files (>1GB). I have a 500 GB Maxtor connected with external power.The media server serves smaller files just fine (although they are not MKV files). The disk is formatted as NTFS. I can access the large, MKV files via mapping network drive, so I know they are present on the disk and they are intact; but they media server does not show them.
