I am experiencing a problem starting Media Sharing server from a desktop to a Sony Blue Ray Player, BDP-S570. I am using MS Windows Media Player 11 on the desktop as the server. The network connection from the BDP is wired. I can see the Internet download movies from Netflix and the like, no problems. However the Blue Ray server startup tool fails consistently sending out a message saying there is a firewall rule on my desktop is preventing the server from starting. I have opened the ports as documented by Microsoft, see link below. Additionally, I added a setting for "IPv6" "fe80::/10" to "My Home Network" without much success.
Has anyone experienced such a problem. If so your help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jai,
McAffe virus scan: Build 15.0.291
Version: 15.0
DAT: 6489
Personal firewall: Build 12.0.344
Version: 12.0
I have not contacted McAfee support yet hoping the problem I am experiencing is a known issue.
I am unable to post a screen show as it is displayed on my TV by the Blue Ray Player. However it is a simple message stating the 'server did not start' and 'there is a firewall rule preventing the server from starting' no additional details provided.
Should I contact McAffe support?
Thank you for your support.
