Not really. Network Discovery is to see devices on your network -and- be accessible, as per the description in the OS itself : And that's just it - I can't see the NAS on the network. Sure, I can access it with \\nas\share but the Media Center itself cannot. Why not map the share to a drive letter and be done with it? Well, I stream some pretty heavy 1080p files through the network, and need all the bandwidth I can use. SMB (mapped drives) is significantly limited in bandwidth compared to the connections used by uPnP, so choppiness can occur easily. But I digress. I really need to turn on Network Discovery. If there is no way at all, then I will very painfully reinstall the system. That's all I need to know, really. Cheers, Antonius Maximus.

Chaps, A while ago I used vLite to trim Home Premium to use in a HTPC. Everything was just fine, or so I thought. I recently purchased a Synology NAS to store my media files since the HTPC's disks were overloaded. To use it, I have to enable Network Discovery in the Network & Sharing Center. But the problem is that I get this awful "Class not registered" error and Network Discovery remains off. I am stuck. Searching through the forums revealed two threads here and here. However, none of those provide a solution and I am stumped. It would pain me to have to reinstall as I have been optimising and customising this HTPC for hours through the past few weeks. So I'd just like a short and concise pointer for this issue. Am I screwed, or is there hope? Cheers, Antonius Maximus.
