How about financially supporting the OP/author with a few pennies (on us) by upvoting? Just click the show link and reward your karma. Or leave a comment with your thoughts. Here's some free karma to start.

It took me days to figure out a solution to this, so I'm posting for others who run across this issue. McAfee support (which stinks) didn't know how to solve it and I didn't find a solution anywhere on the Web.

In order to allow WDTV Live to use the "play to" feature with Windows Media Player, you must check the Enable UDP tracking button within Firewall - Smart Advice and Advanced Settings.
