Hello Everyone,

I have a Netgear router WGR614v9 supplied by Virgin media.

I have a desktop, a laptop and a Ps3 and psp which all use the network.
I can not share media or files across the network. whilst media sharing and network discovery are turned on. All have access to internet and download ok.

The most info I got on the problem was from the Ps3 when I did a connection test with it. it said "Upnp : not available nat type: 2

The router may not support IP Fragments. Gaming access maybe restricited contact router manufacturer."

So I contacted virgin media who said basically if your Internet works then were not intrested! they gave me a premium rate number to phone for general pc assistance.

I then phoned Netgear who were very helpfull. After going through all the settings with them they told me it was because the Firmware is put on the routers by virgin media and is not there firmware, so they can not advise me further they told me to contact Virgin media again.

Virgin told me to reset the router which has atleast changed the test results for the Ps3. Ps3 is not showing any errors. But still Media sharing is not working! neither is network discovery.

My computers are on the same workgroup also.

when I take these computers upto my mum's where she has a netgear router which is a DG.... something or other and is also virgin. media sharing works fine with nothing to change. the network names and passwords are the same for both houses so can someone pleas help me and tell me where I am going wrong or is it Virgin's Firmware thats stopping media sharing.
