Have HR21-700, Running Vista, i can use media share for music and pix but i have to keep turning off firewall. is there a way to set it up so firewall can be on, but yet still use media share?
 
I would setup static DHCP on the router and establish an permanent opening for your HR21; you have it connected wireless I assume?

You sure do not want to be turning off the firewall.

These how-tos will be particular to your makes & models so did out or D/L the user guides. And if you are not comfortable, bring somebody over you trust to help you.
 
it is "hard wired" to the router, but pulling music and photos off a wireless laptop.
 
You should to enable and setup WEP security. It is also recommended to move away from dynamic assignment and setup static DHCP for optimal performance; but seeing that the op added that he was hard wired; windows firewall is the the culprit. If you are using anther security suite, such as Norton IS or like; then you should not need that AND windows firewall and you will be abel to remedy much easier.
