Last winter I bought a Sony Bravia KDL- 46EX710 DLNA LCD/LED TV it is connected to the internet through my Linksys WRT160Nv3 router via LAN, everything worked perfect when I stopped using it for the summer, this past week I turned it back on and tried to ACCESS my photos on my PC through the TV and it said it could not find the server, I have tried everything but to no avail. I have stopped my AVG ANTIVIRUS and Windows firewall, still can't access the files on my PC, the PC'sin the home can access each other over this router, even the internet is accessed by the TV over this router so the router and TV are connected but the TV can not access the computers over this router, I have tried a new ethernet cable and still nothing.

Router 192.168.1.1
My PC LAN 192.168.1.102
Acer PC Wireless-G 192.168.1.101
Bravia TV 192.168.1.103
DHCP server start 192.168.1.100
end 192.168.1.149
It would appear to me that something is blocking access from the TV to the computers on my network but I just can't find it.
Thanks

I'm not sure how the TV exactly works, but a quick google search shows that you need a DLNA server on your PC running... You will need to set up a firewall EXCEPTION for the DLNA server. WMP 11 includes a DLNA server.Check your router's Upnp settings for it might be disabled. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UPnPQuote from: Transfusion on September 18, 2011, 09:56:11 PM

I have never had any issues with WMP, but if it would be possible to do a fresh install of WMP 11, that would be nice. You can also repair your existing installation. Please make sure to back up all of your existing media.

You could also go into "Add or Remove Programs" and manually uninstall, then reinstall WMP.
