As I mentioned previously, BT have changed my router from Open Reach Modem and Halo3 hub to a new Smart Hub 2. This is apparently a better, more advanced hub which combines the two previous boxes.
Wifi through the new hub is great. I can use JRemote on my iPad to control my idpi perfectly.
My Panasonic Viera smart tv recognises the idpi too! The TV is wired to the hub.
On my pc I have JRiver 27 for Windows - latest version - and this pc is a wired ethernet connection to the hub.
HOWEVER, with the Halo 3 hub I could see the media network server from JRiver on my tv and play movies, music etc in my tv room from the main JRiver setup.
[The idpi serves my music files into my hifi in the living-room]
The Smart Hub 2 allows my pc to access the internet, but it will not connect to my internal network - so the media server on my pc is now unseen by any devices on the wifi network.
VLC on my iPad used to see it and I could play video or music on my iPad. (Useful if I wanted to watch a movie while my wife was watching tv.)
I am not entirely an ignoramus with networks, but this has me completely nonplussed.
Has any UK user had this problem, and if so how did they solve it?
