Internet Connection Not Available / Audio Video Sharing Not Working
If the MAC address (a unique identifier number) of your PC or modem has been permanently registered, it is possible that your TV might not connect to the internet. In such a case, the MAC address is authenticated each time when you connect to the internet. This is a precaution against unauthorized access. Since your TV has its own MAC address, your internet service provider cannot validate the MAC address of your TV. For this reason, your TV cannot connect to the internet. Contact your internet service provider and request information on how to connect a different device, such as your TV, to the internet.
It is also possible that the connection may not be available due to a firewall problem. If you think this causes your problem, contact your internet service provider. A firewall might be the reason of a connectivity and discovery problem while using the TV in Audio Video Sharing mode or while browsing via Audio Video Sharing feature.
Invalid Domain
Ensure that you have already logged on to your PC with an authorized username/password and also ensure that your domain is active, prior to sharing any files in your media server program on your PC. If the domain is invalid, this might cause problems while browsing files in Audio Video Sharing mode.
