Have recently upgraded a pc to WIN 8.1 Pro 64 bit from WIN 7 64 bit.
Before the upgrade I had a DxTreme 380 media box located in the lounge room and networked via Cat6 cable to the pc in the bedroom.
All devices on the network - Samsung tv, DxTreme box + 4 PC's have static IP addresses.
The DxTreme was loging in to the PC (WIN7) for about 2 years without any problems.
After the upgrade of the PC to WIN 8.1 Pro It refuses to login no matter what I do.
I've even created a new user account with Admin level rights and this failed as well.
I have a deep suspicion that there must/is some security features buried deeply in the OS that is preventing the DxTreme form connection to the PC.
I've spent about 2 months trying to fix this without any sucess.
It would be gretaly appreciated if any one could help.
(I'm at the point of building another PC with WIN 7 just to connect to the DxTreme box, but this could be an expensive fix for something simple)
cheers
