Problems with Blue Ray Bd-C5500 and file sharing DLNA

by alimannn Sep 19, 2010 11:57PM PDT

Hello,

I have this problem, when my computer is connected to router with wire and then from router to BD-C5500 with wire, file sharing is working as it should.

But when i use wireless on my computer then my BD-C5500 can't find my computer.

Is there something that can be done about this, since my wife is starting to flip due to wire crossing entier living room floor Silly

Samsung doesn't offer much support for your network systems. Those are pretty much yours and setup is again yours.

A common issue with sharing on wifi is a router setting that has TOO MANY NAMES such as CLIENT ISOLATION. Samsung support is unlikely to ask you about this and even I can't guess if you or the person who set up your network did that. OR your security software is blocking shares on wifi for security.

Many are getting a little upset when they find out that free network support is almost non-existent.

what did you mean by " TOO MANY NAMES "

I mean

I mean that that network router feature is called different names on different routers. Therefore you have to translate this feature name from what I called it to what your router calls it.

Hopefully you see why network support is lacking. There are features that are not called exactly the same thing and it is up to you to do this translation.
