I previously had only 1 wireless router on my network, and Mezzmo could see my PC (running Mezzmo), and even my wife's PC (not running any server that I know of), and I would connect to my PC running Mezzmo just fine (awesome product by the way. I am a registered/paying user)
Well... my only problem is that my Bluray's wireless is so weak that my videos would pause and say "Loading" every few seconds now that I have rearranged my office and there are even more objects blocking my wireless router (My bluray player is in the living room). I believe the signal was getting too low or too noisy to stream the video.
So, in order to help things, I took a Linksys wired router (BEFSR41) and made it my new gateway/dns/connected-to-my-cablemodem and configured my wireless router to simply work as an access point. I then moved the wireless router closer to the living room and connected it via ethernet cable to my new wired gateway.
Everything works perfectly... except that my Bluray no longer lists any devices, including, and most importantly, my PC running Mezzmo.
My wireless PCs can connect to the internet and even connect to wired PCs through Windows Explorer.
The bluray does connect to the gateway and gets a proper IP address and I can connect to the internet and watch Netflix.
But there are no devices on the list. I looked through the FAQ on this forum and:
- UPNP is turned OFF on both routers (as far as I can tell)
- There is no firewall running on my PC or either router, including Windows Firewall
- The new IP for the bluray does not show up in the Media Devices list of Mezzmo on my PC, so it has never connected to the server
- I AM able to ping the bluray's IP from my PC that is running Mezzmo
I am guessing that the DLNA traffic is somehow not going from the wireless router to the wired router, but I'm not sure why. I am guessing it is a setting in one or both routers, but not sure what since everything else is working.
I appreciate any help you can give.
Thanks,
WallyJ
