Str-dn840 Streaming Through Home Network

I have recently purchased and installed my STR-DN840 receiver. I have created a home network and when i try and connect on the receiver, it recognises the home network server, but when i click on it. it says it cannot connect to the server. i dont know why, i have taken off all the passwords, changed connection to a 56bit connection, upgraded the software on the receiver, but still nothing. the receiver is wirelessly connected to my home connection.
