Connectivity with home network

I have a KDL55HX823 and it is wirelessly connected to the home network.

The TV recognises the PC.

But when I test the connection I receive "failed"

The IP addresses are correct.

The port is opened.

Is the UDN number a problem? or what else could it be.

I have a similar problem. I have 2 PCs, one running XP and one Windows 7. I can see the WIN7-PC, not the

XP-PC. But I cannot see the files on the WIN7-PC. I have shared several folders on both PCs.

I do not think that the TV is not able to do what you are trying to do. The TV is able to access a DNLA server streaming media but not a shared folder in the network. The fact that the TV can see the computer shows that the network is working. Try installing this media server

http://www.serviio.org/ It seems that it solves loads if these problems. Hope this help.

We seem to have the same problem.

I have installed Serviio and it appears to have made full communication with the PC possible.

I have just been viewing files on my Sony TV.

Although it is working there appear to be some anomolies.

Should I use the Windows/PC or the Serviio icon

The dates of photos are wildly incorrect.

Should I enter sub-folders rather than Folders in the Local path.

I solved my problem with Windows Media Player as described here :

It works on both my XP-PC and my WIN7-PC.

I found this site but I don't have "Media sharing" when I click on Library.

What version of Windows and Media Player are you running ?
