ok, I will try for more detail


So, originally, I had a modem/router/ethernet cable combo which meant the lappy was wired, and I would connect to the wifi on the same network. Problem is, the modem can only be put in a part of the house where the wifi signal is terrible. so I thought I would use my spare linksys router as a wireless AP.

so i turned off the broadcast of the out of range wifi and now the 2nd router supplies my internets to the phone and lappy via wifi.

so esentially, the router upstairs is DHCP enabled and the one down in my room(the one that is now the "network") is connected to one of the ports(not into the one marked internet as this causes the 2 routers to screw eachother).


Both routers have Upnp enabled,

i tried the old set up(the one where it would drop out of range) and it too is now non functioning.


in Windows 7 I have both the public amd home and pffice profiles set to have all sharing related options to "yes"

i have set up windows media player and the

I have checked wmp and the media devices show up in Network and sharing, but N900 still cannot for the life of it find it.

I have reset the routers and set them up again, but nothing seems to work- the n900 never gets an icon in the corner of media player.


I am not sure what i am doing wrong.
