The problem is the N800 does not see the philips or vice versa. What is more likely to blame for this and if I replaced the Philips with say a Dlink or netgear adapter would they see the N800.

Or am I asking too much from the N800 to use it in this way.

If you tried Media Streamer you should be able to see and control UPnP Media Players that conform to the UPnP standard required to be controlled from a UPnP control point such as that provided within Media Streamer to control playback events etc.

I have been using Media streamer to successfully create on the fly playlists and control the playback of AV Media on my Philips SL300i but have a sneaky suspicion this capability may not be available on your Philips SLM5500 (But I could be wrong?)

Below is an earlier thread in my blog where the only way you actually know you have switched from the N800 to an available UPnP Hardware Media renderer is the switch option in the top right area of the Media Streamer interface, the screen captures in blog post illustrate this http://mikesl300i.blogspot.com/2006/...back-with.html
