Server Disconnects with Samsung/Windows 8

[paulsalter]

Hope I am not going to jinx myself by saying this, but after having quite a few weeks of disconnects I might have found a solution, I have been going for over a week now without any issues

Windows Media Player DLNA sharing seems to have caused the issue for me, disabling the sharing (on by default) seems to have cured it

Control Panel
Network and Internet
Chose Homegroup Sharing Options
Change Pictures/Videos/Music to Not Shared

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, if not I thought it might be useful to anyone that gets dropouts as a possible solution (or something to try)

I am on Windows 8 so not sure if the above applies to other versions

Thanks for sharing this!

Should have kept quiet, last night it went off again, first time in over a week

I have sent the logs to you, can you please let me know what they show

Thanks

That's a shame We'll analyse the logs and report back via email.

Thanks, I tried looking over the logs but it didn't make much sense to me

Hopefully it can be fixed and is not just an issue with using WiFi/Samsung kit
