On my PC network I have a Win XP machine.
I can use this to load new films etc. onto the HDR Hard disc from my PC via the network with drag and drop.
On my other machine which is Windows 8.1 the Humax and my other PC’s are all seen as servers or available for file play from wherever.
However I cannot now copy files between the win 8.1 PC and Humax.
The humax is not seen as a hard disk, only as a Play server.
I’m having to resort to copying to Humax HDR via USB. (xp machine is in another room).
Need to do this so Humax HDR can be used as source for TV when computers are not on line.
Any Ideas?

Do you have the custom firmware installed?
I had problems sharing from a Windows 7 PC. What I had to do was in the Network sharing centre => Advanced options was to turn on 40/56 bit encryption instead of 128 bit and turn off password protected sharing. Hope this helps.

No the Humax is as supplied (with normal firmware updates)
OK, in that case you need to explain exactly how you are doing the drag and drop file transfer from XP to Humax.

The Humax appears on my XP Machine as Microsoft home network as an IP address 192.168.1.71 which I can access to show the folders:-My Music My Photo My Video which I can select as disk folders. I can drag and drop Home movie or edited movie (MP4) files from my XP computer to these folders.(I copy recorded programs from Humax via USB)[img]Http://www.quest42.co.uk/woodwork/temp/Netwok.jpg[/img]

This is how Humax appears on Win8.
Which only appears to recognise Humax as a file server, not a problem for distributing films etc. over the network but no use for file transfer.

Interesting. What do you see if you put the Humax IP address into a web browser?
Win8.1 does not find it like xp machine does.
Must be something to do with type of network connection but I do not know enough about win8.1 to set anything up.
Win8.1 just found my humax as media server automatically.

Win 8.1 works the same way as Win 7..Do you have an Icon on your desktop labelled ” Network ” if so click on that and it should show all the devices that are connected. Including your PC, router and the Foxsat. let’s start with that. Let us know.
This is what I see:-
MAIN (XP) and SC (win8) are computers
Interesting…Media server shows up but not HDR-Fox T2…Hmmmmm
Try this…go to Network and sharing in control panel. Open that and click on Change advanced sharing setting. At the bottom of that page is All Networks, click on the pull down arrow on the right..check if 128 bit is being used,,if so change that to 40 or 56 bit option
Save that and then try and see what happens.
Advance settings buried a bit deeper in win8.1
Changed to lower setting and system restarted as requested by win8.
Presentation different but still no plain network shown.
This is a puzzle. You said you can access you Humax through a browser in XP. What do you see when you do that ? But when you try this in Win 8.1, it just times out..correct ?

In XP can browse the files on the humax hard disk just as I would on any computer hard disk. And copy/delete/rename etc.
If I try to access via I.E,. browser from Win8.1 it can’t find it.
Firefox on win8.1 also fails (Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 192.168.1.71.)
But I can Ping 192.168.1.71. from win8.1 at less than 1ms.
I guess I do not have a vanilla network installed on the Win8.machine but not having migrated here via vista or win7 I’m at a loss.
