850/NC10 DLNA connection

by sjsoncnet Dec 22, 2008 6:30AM PST

I was setting up our new LN52A850 over the weekend (which was everything I expected and more). I happened to be using a Samsung NC10 netbook running XP connected wirelessly to our home network to stream music to a receiver/amp at the time. The TV had already been connected to the network by a network cable. I was quite surprised when I noticed the the netbook was showing up as an available wiselink device on which I was able to browse and access media files.

My problem is that on the next day, when I looked for the netbook as source on the TV, it no longer appeared. I could install the PC Share Manager software on the NC10 but I'd rather keep its resources as unencumbered as possible and use the existing configuration. Any idea why the NC10 wasn't showing up the second day? The only change I had made was to the netbook to upgrade the memory to 2gb. Nothing to the TV or network.

Both these Samsung devices are top of their class. If I hadn't purchased the media receiver/amp just a year ago, I'd be looking to buy something from the Samsung line.

Thanks

Check the setup?

sjsoncnet,

Thanks for your support of Samsung products.

One of our forum posters posted what I think is probably the most conclusive "checklist" for setting up DLNA. Maybe going through some of these steps may help.
