Hi

I have a Roku SB M1001
It is working fine with Firefly WIRED but it cannot find the server wirelessly
Details:

One Pc (Windows Xp SP2)
no firewalls -no extra security
one router– Dlink DlR 635

So the SB it’s connected via wireless, i am able to listen to some Internet radios but it can’t find the media library which is located on a local drive not on the network. As soon as i plug in the ethernet cord it sees it right away.

Tried different type of security (WEP, WPA), no security, different channels …nothing.
I don’t think it’s a connectivity problem since i can connect.
I am able to ping the SB wirelessly with no problem
But i am not able to see the library no matter what
Same thing with i Tunes
I have Bonjour installed

I checked the logs.Everything looks fine
I tried ALL or almost all the nightly releases

The only one that works is MediaConnect 2.0 not WMP 11

I really don’t know what i am missing here : 😥

I haven’t tried with a Linux box but i don’t think it would make a difference.

If anyone has ANY ideea i would REALLY appreciate it.

Thank you.

Search for an option in the web admin of the router for something like “Enable Multicast Streams”, or “Enable Multicast” or “Enable IGRP”.

Turn that on, and see if it works. Also, might be worth upgrading firmware, as some of the older dlink firmware didn’t do multicast.
