Firewall restricting access from Samsung BD-P3600 wifi Blu-ray player

I have purchased a Samsung BD-P3600 blu-ray player that has WiFi capability to access files(video, music, pictures) on my computer. ESET appears to be blocking access to it. If I go to manual mode to access the PC by typing in its address, I can get limited accesss. Automatic mode does not work. Once I remove the firewall, the player automatically sees the PC and can see all shared folders.

What is the best setup so that I do not need to drop the firewall?

 

Have you tried switching to Learning mode so that all necessary rules are created automatically?

 

Marcos, can you clarify if - after using Learning Mode to establish necessary rules for the Wi-Fi player - wouldn't you have to operate in something other than Automatic Mode? ........ And, will "Automatic with User Defined Rules" recognize the Learning Mode Rules - OR only manually created rules by the user?

 

Have tried learned mode and automatic with exceptions. No change. Once I drop ESET, the device can see my computer and I can access shared folders. After that, I can turn on ESET again and I can retain connectivity and go thru the firewall.

 

Hello,

Perhaps the following will be of use:

ESET Knowledge Base Article #2317, "How do I configure ESET Smart Security to allow media streaming to my Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3?"

Although the knowledgebase article mentions gaming consoles, the same steps should apply to other devices on your network as well.
