The Commercial Media Server from Nokia is not from Nokia at all; Its a spin of or is it a progression of a media server that Philips used with its first Hardware UPnP players like my SL300i called Philips Media Manager. Now whilst Simple Center has improved the product and commercialised it I think it is still prone to being very resource hungry on many users XP PC's. Many new users to UPnP may find reading posts over at streamiumcafe useful to help understanding http://www.streamiumcafe.com/ubbthre...eads.php?Cat=0

Windows Media connect works and is free but its not the best of breed Media Server, For Music/Audio Twonky is very flexible as it can be installed on Win and Linux & Mac platforms and even network attached devices.

Tversity is my favourite for all AV because of the great ideas and developments but it has it little issues, one being it does not yet work with Media Streamer although the Tversity team are working on a fix that should be available in a few days.

ALL these Media servers need to be able to talk on the network so XP Firewall or others, Norton spy ware products etc, router settings can all cause issues with your media server being able to see your network etc. (You must open the program and ports through the PC firewall if advised to do so, but not normally through the router as that's to get outside your network generally.)

Now to the version of Media streamer, Yes the latest version is 1.0.8.2 and yes some users are finding that its impossible to download when wi-fi'ing onto a network, today I read a thread (In these forums) about issues with application manager and your ISP of all things so tried to update the package via telephone and Bluetooth and update to latest version just fine.

Having said that Tversity DOES NOT work with this version of Media Streamer any better than 1.0.8.1 wait for a fix from TVersity
