    Hello everyone,
    I need to stream from my pc running XP to a Samsung Smart TV over a DLNA network I believe through a router. From what I have heard windows 7 is very capable of doing this but I am running Xp with windows media 11. Windows media has made a connection to the tv through media sharing but I have not been able to go any further. I go to the tv and open allshare but it does not find my pc. I don't mind running 3rd party software if this is necessary. I know, it is time to upgrade my operating system. Just can't let go.
    Thanks for all the help.

    I user the free Serviio Software to stream to my Samsung F55F6320, it`s much better than the Samsung Software
