Please help with connecting LG 55LE5400
Posted: Sun Mar 13, 2011 2:32 am
I have a somewhat atypical setup that I'm sure someone has encountered before. My wi-fi router and cable-modem are upstairs and I just got ethernet enabled tv/blu-ray player. In order to be able to connect multiple devices to the internet, instead of buying a wi-fi usb dongle for each device, i opted to purchase a wireless bridge that I can place downstairs to connect to my existing wi-fi router. I then used a switch to split the connection out to multiple devices.
Therefore:
PC running Serviio is connected via 802.11g to router.
Wireless Bridge (Cisco WET610N) also connected to same router.
Ethernet switch connected to the bridge, then wired to the TV.
TV seems to pick up the internet connection fine and I'm able to stream HD on Netflix and browse Youtube, etc.
LB Knowledgebase says that I just need to go to "My Media" from the menu to pick up any DLNA content on the network, but when I do, I just get the error "No storage units available".
My wi-fi router shows my PC has the addr 192.168.1.2 and the bridge is 192.168.1.4 (I reserved it so it doesnt change). My TV also confirms it is getting 192.168.1.4.
On the PC I've gone into Inbound Rules for Windows Firewall (Windows 7) and allowed ports 8895/TCP and 1900/UDP.
I'm not sure where to go from here and any help would be appreciated. I've tried adding a renderer profile of Generic DLNA profile with the address 192.168.1.4 to no avail.
Please help
