    Default Can't find my pc

    Hi!
    I just got my new Boxee today, but I can't seem to find my pc via the wlan.. This is how it looks when I'm looking for local sources, but when i try to click them I only get "Connection Refused". I've also tried adding my IP for the pc, but then I've only gotten "Connection timed out".. Anyone who's got some tips?

    Post everything you can about your PC:
    Which version of Windows?
    Are you running any firewalls (on your PC or with your router) and if so, which one?
    Which anti-virus program are you running?
    Do you have Windows Live installed?

    Is your PC actually in "WORKGROUP"?
    What is the IP address of your PC?
    What is the IP address of your Boxee Box (Settings>>Network>>Network screen I think)?

    Windows7
    The windows firewall is off, and I believe the router one is off as well.
    I run ESET Smart Security, but I've tried turning the personal firewall off without success.
    No Windows Live as far as I know.

    It is in WORKGROUP yes.
    I'm guessing it's the internal IP Boxee wants, so it's 192.168.0.100
    The IP for the Boxee is 192.168.0.101

    Nvm! The Boxee found an update today, and since then it's running smoothly
