Wireless connection to internet but no UNC connection

If changed My WD TV live hub (with latest firmware) connection from a wired to a wireless connection. The USB adapter is  mentioned in the compatibilty list.

The WD gets a internet connection. spotify and youtube works, but i cant access the WD by PC with UNC or WD remote.

putting back on the ethernet cable and i have connection with PC and remote!

any suggestions?

Have you checked to ensure that they all on the same network… I assume that when you say WD remote you mean the app.

Yes, by remote i mean the WD remote app on the iphone. The iphone is on the same wireless router as the player and the PC.

You say the computers cannot find the HUB. Can the HUB see the computers via network share?

Perhaps try “net view” from the command line (cmd.exe) to see if your computers can resolve the Hub’s name when it’s on WiFi. If not would also try and ping the IP adress of the HUB to see if computers see the adapter.

Net view below showing live devices (computers etc) on the subnet. The command shows a “remark” indicating which machine is the HUB. Ping below that going direct to the IP address, though you could be blocking that with your router.

C:>net view
Server Name              Remark


\DEVICE_1
\DEVICE_2               WDTV LIVE
\DEVICE_3

No, the hub can’t find any network shares. not even with a wired connection.

Pinging gives no response.

Will try net view

might be a good idea to check the master browser election

net view gives this result:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>net view
Server Name            Remark


\D390-39P0M2J         dirk thuis

this machine is the master browser.

if i put on an ethernet cable. the UNC mapping is restored, but “net view” gives:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>net view
Server Name            Remark


\D390-39P0M2J         dirk thuis
\WDTVLIVEHUB          WDTV LIVE
The command completed successfully.

no wireless machines such as tablet and iphone show up in net view

What is your wireless router. You don’t happen to have guest WiFi do you?

no its not. is a ZTE H200, standard router from a dutch telecom provider.

Finally got the solution. restoring the router to default did the trick.

WD remote is working.

UNC via PC is working

only WD discovery won’t work.

thanks for all the help
