I am running XBMC on Ubuntu 12.04 as a upnp server on the machine on which my media is stored.
In the network, there is one wired and two wireless clients (all three windows 8 machines).
The wired client works flawlessly, i.e. i start xmbc and can connect to the upnp shares I set up earlier as it is supposed to work.
With the wireless clients it is different:
I can see the XBMC server in the windows explorer network section, browse the media library there and also start movies. However, when I start XBMC, the upnp shares are not available, i.e. I receive the message "Could not connect to network server". It can take a couple of minutes or up to 30 minutes until they become available.
I am clueless what the reason for this behavior is and need help with solving this problem.
