My N900 works great as a DLNA client, when my Windows PC's are on and they have network shared folders.
However, when I switch off all my Windows PC's and try to access my network shared USB drive (that is attached to my router), the N900 doesn't see it. Is there any way that I can get the N900 to see (or search for) the network shared USB drive?
My router's a Belkin Share+, so maybe it requires some software on every device that you want to view the content on? On the other hand, it's supposed to support DLNA TVs with no problem, and of course you can't go installing apps on TV's (yet).
Has anyone got an idea of how to get this working? I'm getting a DLNA TV tomorrow, so I can give more info on how well it picks up the USB drive.
P.S. Only one of my PCs actually has any Belkin software. The other one finds the drive because I told it to look for one, but didn't install any software.
