By the way the HR21 still shows as connected to network and internet on the HR21 itself.mlc1971law said:This past weekend I successfully (or so I thought) set up my HR 21 for networking.
Here is my setup, Desktop Vista Home Premium hardwired to Linksys WRT150-N, that has Hughes Net (don't get me started!!) modem wired to it. I am running V24 Wrt-DD firmware on this router.
I took an old WRT54G and put the V23 WRT-DD firmware on it. I set up it up as a wireless bridge following the instructions on this forum using my laptop running XP business. I connected HR 20 to it and bingo, turned HR 21 off and on, ran the networking tests and I'm connected to the internet and network. DOD is working to the extent possible with my lousy internet connection to HughesNet. Mediashare also worked immediately as it was able to view pics and play music from my laptop. My laptop (running WMP11) immediately detected the HR21 and I was in business viewing children's pics to music. Pretty cool app, or so I thought.
So I went to my desktop, and under Networking I could see everything the HR21, the Wireless Bridge, my laptop the whole shooting match.
Then suddenly, I lost the ability to see media from laptop and got a message telling me so on-screen.
HR21 would not pick up media from desktop and wouldn't play movies from WMP11 on laptop. So I installed TVersity on Desktop and could see the Tversity server in Network along with everything else. Went to bed. Did some reading next day and opened TVersity port 49152 on desktop and restarted.
Now, neither the laptop nor desktop can SEE the TVersity Server, the wireless Bridge, the HR20 but laptop and desktop do see each other. Main Router sees all devices in router page and sees wireless bridge as a client. Everything pings everything else.
I'm out of ideas. Any words of advice?
