Error message while connecting laptop to media hub

Hi

I doubt if its your firewall, to find out, just disable it and restart, see if it turns up.

More likely a sharing issue, but I found Win 7 to be the easiest to setup as far as that goes.

There are loads of threads like this.

Just type share in the search box.

Good Luck.

P.s - you dont need that discovery software, you should see the Hub under the network.
