In the mean time, I did some more investigating. I have an old box that had Mezzmo 2.4.5 that has not been started up in quite some time. When I start 2.4.5 up, the BD-D6500 recognized Mezzmo in seconds. I did so everytime, repeatedly. After restarts of the BDP, Media Server restarts restarts of the pc and restarts of the network, it recognized Mezzmo in seconds. Then I upgraded Mezzmo to 3.0.2. The BDP only recognized Mezzmo once after multiple tries of the scenarios above. And when it recognized Mezzmo, it tool 5 plus minutes.
So... A few months back, I fixed this same issue on my other Samsung BDP (after your instance that I had network issues) by hard wiring to that location. I do not have that ability in this area. And given that prior versions of Mezzmo seem to work great with the BD-D6500 and the newer versions do not, what is the deal? When and why did you turn Mezzmo from an AK-47 into an M-16? (Google Ak47 vs M16 tolerances). Mezzmo used to just work. I find that I am having to spend more and more time making Mezzmo work. I am having trouble understanding what is happening here.

SOLVED!
Attention all Samsung BDP users using wireless. If you have set a static IP in the Samsung device, please change it back to dynamic. Manual back to Auto. For some reason, it looks like the code in the device for the static IP setup is not functioning correctly. It limits the player ability to reach out to a media server and it also seems to cause the player not be able to hear a media server that is announcing itself. This has also attributed to some drops in playback and file navigation drops once connected.
I have confirmed this on two models - BD-D6500 and BD-C6500. Once I switched back to Auto (dynamic), Mezzmo appears at device start up every time now.
This does not impact wired connections.
Thanks to Paul for providing a detailed explanation of the parts of the DNLA protocol.

So, this is a Samsung issue? I have filtering setup to only show certain content to this device. If I switch the player to DHCP I can't set a specific rule for it as the IP may be different every time it's turned on. Does the patch that was emailed fix the problem, or is there some other way I can still send filtered content to a device without a static ip?
I've just been doing a bit of Googling for this after reading the above post and came across this post (and other similar ones)...
To sum up, even though this should never be the solution in my case, all my devices have static ip's, it appears that setting static ip numbers outside the range provided by the DHCP server might fix this fault. Reading through the post sounds promising and I will try it out this afternoon. I'd like to hear if this works for anyone else also.Code:http://www.eightforums.com/network-sharing/13306-dhcp-works-static-ip-doesnt.html
...
I tried this last night on most of the devices around my home, wireless, ethernet and powerline. I changed all of the static IP's to numbers outside the range allocated by DHCP and ... instant detection! I tried multiple times on multiple devices and it worked every time. I still had timeouts and things associated with Samsung equipment, but the Mezzmo server was found every time.
There is a chance this may just be a coincidence, and it will break the next time I use it, but it looks promising at the moment.
