Sony media remote, STR-DN1020 wont register on HTC Desire S

If anybody else had the same problem I have discovered the cause (for me) and a fix.

Cause

My Virgin Media Superhub router, without any changes by me (completely out of the box), had allowed one of the PCs on my network to configure port forwarding via uPnP for a Windows Media Player device (the PC is running Windows 7 and again, I had made no config changes to allow this to happen).

* uPnP was switched on in my router (Universal Plug & Play)

* A Windows 7 PC on the network auto configured the portmap for Windows Media Player in my router

My fix

I turned off uPnP in my router.

-----

I never configured anything special on my network that would cause this error - everything was due to my router and PC auto-configuring portmaps.

if you experience the same error as me, check your router.

Message was edited by: mike_edinburgh It was a reboot of the router that allowed me to register, however as soon as I quit and restarted Sony Media Remote I had the same problem after it automatically deleted my registered device (Sony - please give more user control and don't force delete). Same error. Another router reboot and go through registration did work again, however the same error occurred again after restarting Sony Media Remote. Really confused now :/

Hi,

I bought new STR-DN1020 today and cannot get the device to register with Sony Media Remote on my Android HTC Desire S.

When I attempt registration, the STR-DN1020 sees and displays my 'phone name, however Sony Media Remote reports "The number of devices that can be registered has been exceeded.".

I have checked the STR-DN1020 and there is nothing registered with it (as expected for a new box) and my Sony Media Remote only has the 'Demo Player" device registered (which annoyingly I can't seem to delete).

Please help! A primary consideration for buying the STR-DN1020 was to control it from a handset and I'm seriously considering returning it.

Cheers
