thanks for the replies,

i installed windows media player 11, where there any stand alone updates for wmp11? or would they be obtained automatically by the installer?

i am not sure is the phillips media streamer can connect to the wmp11. i am going to try it out, if it does not, then i will use another upnp av server

i can see the media sharing option under the library, does this mean that the windows media connect is present?

i had installed windows media player and twonkyvision and one of the pgrams grabbed hold of the network connections form the windows operating system. does windows media player do that?

the media sharing has turned up two devices, (simple centre installed on the same laptop as windows media player) and an unknown device, is there any way of knowing what the IP address of the IP address is?

i was playing with turning sharig on and sharing off, and sometimes the device appears and sometimes it disapperas, do you know what the reason for that could be?
