c6300 media server detection

I have had a CG3100 d for a couple of years.  When I turn my PS3 on, instantly any of my media servers (serviio, ps3 media server) show up .  Purchsed a c6300 this week and the servers do not show up. (well it did randomly once) but 99% of the time, noting.... 

 

Any ideas to ensire the media server is there every time?

 

Connection moden to pc - ethernet 

connection modem to ps3 - ethernet

 

cheers in advance, 

 

Jeff

    Hello jefflang007

     

    Is there any required port forwarding that needs to be done for your media servers to be seen and accessed?

      not that I am aware of.  

      A) it is an intenal server only
      B) the old modem is Netgear and there were no issues there.

        Also I did a bit of netsearch on this and could not find any specific details on this.  If the old one works perfectly, why should the new one not?
