I'm stumped with a DVD Player/PC Issue.
Here's the problem. I bought an LG Blu Ray DVD Player and want to connect to my computer to stream videos/music/pictures. The BLU Ray player came with Nero Media Home 4 Essentials. I installed the software and shared some folders.
I plugged my Blu Ray Player into my router and it picked up an IP. It can connect to the internet, download updates and even watch Youtube movies.
But, for some reason, the Player cannot see my PC. I've tried everything. I've even tried other software like XBMC, TVersity, Windows Media Centre, but the Blu ray player is not picking up the PC at all.
Is this a issue on the router? Note my Blu Ray Player and PC both use Dynamic IPs.
Do both need Static IPs?
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit yes. I'm PC literate, so have checked the basics. On my router, I can see that the Router has given the DVD Player a IP Address. I can ping this IP. Here is the config of the router.
Router IP is 10.0.0.3
BLU Ray Player IP is 10.0.0.4
My PC Ip is 10.0.0.5
I've followed the tutorials, but on my PC, when I go to Media Streaming Options, it doesn't show the BLU Ray Player as a media device.
Are you running firewall software on your PC (the Windows one included)? It might be blocking the DNLA traffic they need to communicate. Try turning it off temporarily and giving it another shot. – evilspoons – 2012-02-27T16:54:32.023
I checked. The only one which was running was Windows Defener. I turned it off to no avail. Also, Firewalls are disabled. – Fox – 2012-02-27T17:17:11.610
Can tou tell us the exact model of your BluRay player? Can you tell me if this represents your network: Internet-router-computer,dvdplayer,etc – Kaurin – 2012-03-07T01:29:42.320
Hi There. This is my configuration: DVD Player (LG Blu Ray system) connected via LAN cable to Router. DVD Player is picking up Router because I can watch Youtube etc. PC is connected to the same router. Internet is working on the PC. The only thing that is not working, is that the DVD Player cannot see the PC. It does not even pick up a Networked computer. Both Router and computer are using Dynamic (DHCP) IP addresses.
The BLU Ray system is : LG 5,1 3D Blu-ray Tall Boy Home Theatre System. Modal number HB806TH – Fox – 2012-03-07T08:53:23.053
Do you see the new writer with VSO Inspector or InfraRecorder ? Does it change when running respective programs "as administrator"? If not - connection is bad. If yes - you need to update Nero software (if it did come with different maker's drive it will ignore foreign drives even after all updates applied)
