Hi

I've got a WHS all set up and working fine with my PC's on my LAN. I've bought a Sony KDL-40W4500 which is supposed to be able to access a DNLA Media Server, in the options on the TV I can see the PV Connect and the Homeserver but it wont connect to it.

I know it's working ok, as I can connect to the DNLA Server (PV Connect) from my mobile phone which supports DNLA, I can also connect to WMP11 on my PC from the TV quite happily, but all my media is on my WHS.

I tried researching this and can only find some brief info regarding IPSEC possibly interfering with it, but dont know how to turn this off on WHS or if there is another way around this, any help would be much appreciated as Christmas is fast approaching and family will be round with the wife wanting to show family pictures video's etc.

Cheers

Found out why, Sony as a factory default specify the name of the TV to be KDL-40W4500/47

For some reason possible the "/" the WHS doesn't like it, renamed the TV in the setup options to be without /47 and it now works ok.
