Post by Netorius77Thanks Neil,
Having applied the Yamaha patch, I was just wondering if there was any
reason iot wouldn't be compatible in Australia - where i am. I can't see any
reason, but just checking.
That's one of the things I discussed with the guy. Apparently the UK
receivers have DAB radio, as well as some other minor hardware
differences - possibly to change the sound balance for UK
sensibilities.
So it *may* not work to take a USA patch and apply it to the receiver.
To confirm that - the advice I got was to obtain the USB image from
one of the local (regional) dealers not uswe one from another
territory. You may disable some localised functionality by doing so.
I was specifically referring to WMP11 and any localised patch in the
discussion below about upgrading the receiver <g>
Post by Netorius77I removed my WMP11 and reinstalled thinking it may solve the problem, but
now cannot "see" the Yamaha as a device in WMP under media sharing. Should it
typically be identified automatically on the network? The RX-N600 manual
It should at least be "seen", yes. Which firewall are you running ?

Try adding the local zone to the trusted connections available (eg if
your network is 192.168.10.x then add the subnet 192.168.10 to the
firewall)
Post by Netorius77states it uses DHCP which I understand automatically sets the required
parameters from my router to my PC (where the music files are stored). I am
If you can login to your router's web control page, normally it'll
list all devices it's made a "DHCP Offer" to, i.e. devices it's handed
an IP address to recently. Also, ensure the IP address listed for the
receiver is the same Subnet, i.e in the example above, that both your
PC and your receiver have been given 192.168.10.x addresses

(also notes that IPSEC service will prevent sharing to receivers)
Post by Netorius77using a hardwired connection, not wireless if that helps), and I have set my
PC to share the media via a 4 port router (Netcomm NB9). My laptop when
connected to one of the router ports works fine and both PCs see each other,
but not the Yamaha.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

Post by Netorius77I just purchased a Yamaha RX-N600 and have had no success in getting it
connected to my network, but I am not very network literate.
I have found a link to download the revised firmware (with step-by-step
instructions) here: http://rapidshare.com/files/1294703...date-7.6.13.zip
which I believe resolves the compatibility issue with WMP11.
My RX-N600 connects fine with the internet radio, and the Receiver USB
drive, but I
cannot get it to work via WMP11. Is there anyone who can help with some
pointers on how to set up the connection (ethernet) and some checks to where
my connection may be wrongly configured?

I'd try the bits on digital media receivers. Unfortunately with no
information about what you've tried yet, does not work isn't going to
get many helpful answers ;-)
Have a go with the steps in the FAQ, and post any questions you have
if it isn't resolved then. I was speaking to a Yahama guy at a trade
show last week, he seemed confident there are no overriding reasons
why the N600 can't be used once the USB patch is applied to it.
HTH
Cheers - Neil
