Issues with PC playing nicely with DLNA!
I am having a major issue trying to connect my Windows 7 HP Netbook to my Xbox 360 over either Twonky/Serviio or Windows Media Centre. The Xbox just isn't picking up my computer, my homegroup recognises the Xbox and it is 'Allowed' to share media, but when I test my PC connection within the Xbox dashboard, it fails to connect to PC. Due to using a netbook and the location of my router my network is Wifi. The strange thing is I have TwonkyServer Mobile running on my Android phone and that was found by my Xbox immediately with no need to change settings or search for devices. It streams media just fine from my phone. This leaves me thinking that it is an issue with my PC as opposed to my router, I have double checked my router settings (Sagem 2304), UPnP is showing as enabled, I've reset and unchecked/rechecked the UPnP but still not working. My TwonkyMobileServer is also unable to find my PC server although I have been able to find my MobileServer in Windows Media Player and stream media from my phone. Windows Firewall has been disabled, I've also Uninstalled my antivirus software, Avast and AVG, although AVG doesn't seem to want to disappear that easily and is still lurking in my System Tray telling me i've 'Lost protection'...Norton Internet Security is also lurking around which is odd, I can not recall installing it! It doesn't seem to be a fully installed version and doesn't seem to want to be uninstalled. Could these AV software and supposed Internet Security software be holding me back? This leaves me thinking that my PC is holding back my Network. Is there any thing I haven't thought of? Any setting I may have overlooked? Would it be the Anti-virus leftovers ruining my streaming dreams?? Any help is appreciated!!!
