Nope - I wrote at the beginning that player finds Serviio wired to router 1. Making it work wired to router 2 via wireless bridge is an issue. Strange thing is it finds internet and all the vod services work on router 2.

router 2 before it goes invisible: 192.168.100.1
S370 (reserved address) 192.168.1.103
PC with Serviio (Kaspersky onboard) : 192.168.1.12

Why did you use 192.168.100.1 for router2? why not 192.168.1.10 to have same sub address mask 255.255.255.0

I have bridged wireless routers a couple of times before. They have to be on the same network addressing. ie, 192.168.2.1 for main router and bridged router is 192.168.2.85. That is the way I normally set mine up. If you have 2 different IP addressings setup, you will be able to surf the net, but you will not be able to see everything on the network.

Sorry about delay, didn't the thread had moved onto 2 pages! :oops:

My reason for getting the DLNA profile working was to just get your Sony into a full working state before trying the bridging

Anyway, I think what you need to do set up a windows shared folder on main PC, and then plug a laptop into Router 1 using a cable , disable the laptop wifi and make sure you can browse the shared folder and ping the main computer and go onto internet and see what IP it gets given.

Then move the laptop and plug it into Router2 (what device is it BTW) and see what it can do from that postion (broswe/ping/internet) and see what IP its gets given now.

Hi,

No prob, I didn't have time for the last few days to try anything. Current situation:

devices wired to router 1 (PC with serviio connects to it wirelessly) can serviio, everything works.
device (Sony BDP S370) wired to router 2 (Netgear WNR2000, latest firmware, I think running in client mode) connects to internet, IP is assigned by router 1, I can ping it etc. Internet TV services working. But I can't see serviio, and serviio can't detect player. I have disabled all the security on router 2 prior to switching to client - no success. I have opened required ports on router 1 - no success. I am running out of ideas, next step is inevitably going to be a purchase of dedicated USB dongle from Sony, it's damn expensive but should do the job.

Some routers do not have the capability to fully create a wireless bridge. I would suggest you look on the net and check out http://www.dd-wrt.com. Which is a website dedicated to routers and wireless information. They will be able to tell you if your routers will create a full bridge or not and if so help you with the setup.

I am running out of ideas,

Well if you got another laptop, give my tests a go and see what results you get

Ok, finally found some time.

I used laptop with Windows 7. Wired connection to router 1 - serviio found within seconds, however no files detected. I need to play with settings. Ping to servioo PC results in timeout. Serviio PC visible as well, however no access- again settings.
BD Player wired to router 1 finds serviio and files.
Wired connection to router 2 - failed even to obtain IP. No idea what's wrong. BD Player works fine ie gets IP assigned, connects to network and internet.

I just setup a wireless bridge to connect my Netgear EVA2000 last night. I have no problem seeing the serviio server. I followed the instructions on this page.

Try those instructions and see if it helps.
