    So...I've managed to wirelessly connect all of my 3 laptops (2 of them Win7, 1 Win XP) with WD TV Live Streaming Media Player, WD Link also detected WD TV and external disk connected to it and I could also map it.

    But still, the 2 PC-s I own don't recognize WD TV, nor the external disk. It is even more weird, since I have no problems connecting to the internet and to other PC and laptops in network. PC-s dont' recognize only WD TV.

    Could it be that the wireless network card in PC-s (the same one in both of them --> http://www.canyon-tech.com/archive/connect...reless/CN-WF511) is somehow not compatibile with WD TV? I can't think of any other option left...

    Tried a different WiFi card, still doesn't work.

    Turned the firewall off, workgroup name is OK, it's the only network here, don't know about the subnet.
