what in particular?

I can see my PB on the networ, it just won't open

I tried rebooting the router
Tried total wipe of the PB and start over
tried opening a browser window
all the standard protocol to get on the network in the first place??

No idea, like I said, the other playb:confused I have here, works

I have no problems on win 7.
Note that I get in better using \\playbookxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\media

right now, i have the 16GB PB and my 64GB PB connected, I see them both under NETWORK, the 16GB opens in 2 secs, the 64GB just comes up with the same error?, check spelling etc?
They are both setup exactly the same, I don't get it.
Must be something up with the 64GB PB, maybe I should return it?

That's exactly what I meant when I said to try the other methods. You seemed to be hellbent on going in through the network folder! I still can't figure out why one PB would be accessible through network as normal and the other one has to use the work around. I have both a 16GB and a 32GB and none of them are accessible through the network folder - I have to use the static IP work around. Hopefully this will be addressed in OS 2.0!

Very happy it worked for you.

If you go to 'Wi-Fi' on your PlayBook and select 'Saved Networks' under 'Select a network', edit your wireless network and uncheck 'Automatically obtain IP address'... there you can set a static address for your PlayBook to use.

Your typical settings will be:

IP Address: 192.168.X.X (this will be your local network... if your linksys sits on 192.168.1.X then your IP can be anything between 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254... obviously it can't be the same IP as your linksys or any active device on the network)
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Primary DNS: (I use OpenDNS) 208.67.222.222
Secondary: 208.67.220.220
Default gateway: 192.168.X.X (the IP you use to access the linksys page)

It may be easier doing this on the linksys device it self... try and find a page which lets you enter a hostname, MAC address, IP address and lease time.

This worked well, and thank you so much.

Still, I cannot get it.
It won't accept my password.
Any suggestions?

TIA

Scratch that.
I appeared to connect, but would not accept password and lost bridge connections.

Reverted back to old way.

If nothing mentioned above did not help... and you are familiar with such things:
-- Error: the network path was not found 0x80070035
-- Windows logs: Event ID: 4321
... you are welcomed to read the next...

Check:
1. Go to -- Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Firewall
2. Click -- Advanced settings\Outbound rules
3.Check that two following rules are not blocked (for Private profile, supposing that you defined in firewall network connection as "Home"):
Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service (UPnPHost-Out)
Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service (UPnP-Out)
