Question:

How to configure my PC for streaming?

Answer:

To configure your PC for streaming, follow these steps:

Ensure the Vista PC you want to stream from is powered on and you've logged into your account.

Check that the Vista PC is connected to your network.

Save the media you wish to stream in your shared or public folder. If you've created subfolders, enable file sharing within them too. For file/folder sharing instructions, visit the Microsoft website.

If you have software like a firewall running, temporarily disable it or adjust permissions to allow other devices to access the PC. Only do this if your BD player cannot detect the PC.
