Post Can not detect POHD in W7 - but can see Realtek Embedded UPn
Dears,

I have browsed through various of support topics on this subject but I still can not get my PHOD to work.

Problem
- Windows 7 PC does not display the POHD in my network, but is shows the Realtek Embedded UPnP Render(playonhd) icon.

I updated the firmware to the latest, I have turned Samba several times on and off, rebooted it each time. Now after starting up the POHD it says everytime "Bezig met starten NAS".

Can somebody please help me figuring this one out :)

Thanks

It may take more than 15 minutes before your Playon spontaneously appears in the Windows Explorer. This has to with Windows Network Detection, which scans for new devices approximately once every 15 minutes.
If you enter \\<IP address of your Playon> in the search window of the Start menu, your Playon will show up immediately (at least if all other settings, e.g. of the firewall) are correct).

The message "Bezig met starten NAS" indicates that the SAMBA service on the Playon is started up. It is a little confusing that AC Ryan uses both SAMBA and NAS for the same function/service.

Evert! Many thanks, this works! However it still does not show up in the list, but I have created a shortcut! Thanks again!

You're welcome. Windows networking can be a nuisance. Even my server (see my signature), which runs 24/7 and is the DHCP and DNS server for my network, sometimes does not show on the workstations.
