When ever my dsm 520 tries to get authorization from my pc for active pc server, the following  message comes on: the device is trying to access my pc , but it was rejected because the UPnp  could not be determined. I would appreciate any help because i am a novice at computers and even level 3 tech support at dlink has not been able to help
 thanks

Make sure your anti-virus software it is properly configured to allow the ActiveTV software to work properly with your DSM-520. Also be sure to use the latest version of ActiveTV for better functionality with anti-virus software.

I think i have done that with the help of the computer associates tech's who supply my security software. Still I am getting the error message. I have also sent an email to active tv suuport, but have not heard from them.
thanks

You should contact Media Mall directly.  The support is really fine.  If you can load ActiveTV on your PC then go to the page where you can ask for support (I forget just where -- "settings" or something ;like that)  This will create a log that will be sent to them to help identify the issue.

I'm getting the same thing.  I've given up trying because it's a waste of time.  I've gone over all my settings a number of times.  It's buggy software and firmware.  Here's what I did:

Step 1.  Turn power on the DSM-520 off
Step 2.  Log into eBay
Step 3.  Create new listing for a used DSM-520 (latest firmware!  Includes latest MediaMall Server software too!)

The customer service of this product is pathetic. I hope the moderator of this product is reading this message and passing it along to the higher ups in the company

Yes it is monitored and we are working with Media Mall to improve this software. Unfortunately when we see this issue and ask if they are running any anti-virus software they are. Every single time I have seen. The issue seems to be when the DSM-520 creates the remote user account to access the ActiveTV software and PC with AV software seem to deny the user although you do not see this happen. Media Mall (ActiveTV) and D-Link ARE working to improve this functionality PCs running AV software.

I can't believe you're making it sound like the Anti-Virus is at fault here.  How about testing the software?! 

[ablevy]

It can't be that simple.  I'm running Norton and Active TV works fine.  I will bet that if you poll your users a lot of people can use AV with active TV because I have never seen this brought up on the AV Forum thread.  It is either how the AV program is configured or something else, probably permissions.

The software has been tested. A lot and I have never seen this happen on a PC that is not running or has never had AV software installed on at at some point that is the one thing I ask every time I see this issue and every single time it is present. Thats the softwares job only it causes complications with network devices. It should still work even with AV software installed that is what the updates to the ActiveTV software addressed however it still seems to be an issue in some cases and we are still working to improve the functionality to avoid these complications.

[ablevy]

Yes, but telling someone to deactivate their AV program is terrible advise with the stuff floating around the internet.

Or configure it properly..You may need to contact support by the creators for instructions.

I still have no resolution to the initial problem that I have been writing about.ie upnp not recognised. I have not heard from active tv as well. What is the number to call to return this product as I am truly fed up with it.

I am having the same problem with the rejected Active-TV Login.  I am also using Computer Associates AV software.  Was there a specific fix (or settings) that applies to this AV software?

Thanks,
