Networks a Media Device with Windows 7
Hi,
I'm having a problem with getting an external media device (Mediagate MG-35) that I use to watch media files on my TV to network through a 4-port router to my PC O/S windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit via a Cat5 LAN network cable to the router.
The device sees the computer but cannot access the shared hard drives.
Previous O/S was WinXP 64-Bit & setup worked fine & I have not changed these settings on the Mediagate or my router port forward settings when I changed O/S.
All my hard drives on my PC that have media files have been setup to be shared.
As far as I can tell the firewall is not blocking any of the shared files.
I have tried to look for the Network Settings-Local Area Connection Profile on Win7 but can't seem to find it to check that my TCP/IP address setup is correct.
One other possibilty is the Registry\LocalMachine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Parameters section of the registry that I had to amend the RPStackSize in WinXP for the device to read the shared folders.
In Win 7 I cannot find any such parameters as was in WinXP.
The only thing I found in the registry that could possible relate to this was in the 'PCI' -Services-Parameters. Do I need to setup a new Services Parameter Section?
Any advice in getting the Mediagate to network with my PC would be appreciated.
Cheers
