    When filtering is OFF, i can see and connect to my other computers Media Sharing Library on the LAN.
    When filtering is ON, i can't access this media library.
    The Library is not a network harddisk, but the Windwos 7's Media Sharing function.

    How do i allow Media Sharing on Windows 7?

    In setup, advanced settings, update, advanced update setup, tick enable pre release updates. Do an update.

    In setup, advanced settings, personal firewall, ids and advanced settings tick upnp in trusted zone.

    That should work for you. I know it does for me.

    Nope, it does not make any difference. Dissabling the firewall entirely does however.

    In the IDS section of the firewall setup there's an option allowing you to log all blocked connections. Enable it for a while until you find out which rule is blocking the sharing function.
