Net TV works. WIFI Mediaconnect does not.

[JPINGEL]

Have spent extensive time on the phone with tech support to no avail. Have tried on 3 computers. 2 with Vista 1 with 7. Have allowed through all firewalls, even tried turning off firewalls. I have an Actiontek PK 5000 modem/wireless router from Qwest which has never had the firewall turned on. Have installed and uninstalled with rebooting the software several times. The little tv icon appears but never flashes or goes dark. Net TV works fine both wired and wirelessly. The only problem is mediaconnect. When right clicking the tv icon "stop projecting" is not a selectable option. Have tried cntrl+alt+p also. HELP!

Also the FAQ page on the mediaconnect download page does not work. You can click a question but it will not direct you to an answer!

Hi,

your PC and TV need to be in the same subnet (gateway and DNS server need to be the same => router IP)...

Hi JPINGEL,

Have you put your router with MAC ADRESS CONTROL for your Home network? Try to add the MAC adress TV for access into your LAN...

NET TV works fine. Media conect does not. Help!

Your PC and the TV needs to be connected to same network, then the PC will find the TV.
The ICON for Media connect program will also change from light gray into dark gray with black square around it.

So important to know:
How is your setup?
Is the tv connected to same network as your PC?

kind regards.
