can't find any computers in network

[Parkouma]

hi,
i'm trying to stream music from a synology diskstation 209+ on my archos, but in network in the browser on my archos nothing shows up.
i am connected via wifi and the diskstation is in the same network. i can access the files on my archos from a computer (macbook pro), when i turn filesharing on.
what is required that i can browse the diskstation or other computers (all macs) through the network? upnp on the diskstation is enabled.

thanks for any help, i hope i gave all the information i could so far.

you can't browse files from browser. it's only for web.

u have to have a upnp server on your network and browse it from upnp network.
There is another program as TVersity http://tversity.com/ but I don't think it supports MAC.

My statement is base on 605 since I never had a 604

i mean the file browser, not opera.

i'm not searching for a upnp server, upnp is already enabled on the synology diskstation (and works fine, i tested it with my xbox 360).

edit: i know that sounds stupid now, but are there any different standarts or versions of upnp?

I think uPNP needs to follow the standard.

I don't think u can browse files from the file browser either. like in 605 or A5, you must click on upnp icon in file browser to see the file on the network.

sorry, maybe i didn't make myself clear because of my poor english. i can't see any computers when i click on "Archos 604 wifi" -> "Network" in the file browser on the archos.

Is your 604 on the wireless router?

any chance taking a picture of what you mean?

[Parkouma]

yes, it's connected to the wireless router.

[Parkouma]

nobody any ideas?

maybe i can try connecting a pc to the network...

[swec]

I believe you can only see files that's hosting on uPNP server. I can't help you much as 604 looks a bit different....

i have a NAS running with upnp turned on in the network... anyway i heard it can just connect via smb. but smb is also turned on on the NAS.

You have to be in the same workgroup as the devices you're looking for. The SSID of the router CAN be the name of the workgroup but doesn't have to be. Each device has its own workgroup settings even if on the same physical network.

And is SMB turned on in your NAS?

True, you don't need UPnP service, just use the file browser. That's what I do because I can delete and copy files, not so with UPnP.

You can access the NAS via the 604 Opera Browser by turning on http service on the NAS, this is much faster than using the file browser, you just set the ip address of the NAS share as a favorite or bookmark (just like any other web page).
