windows media player and sharing

I’m trying to configure my Integra DTR 30.3 AV receiver to play the music files stored on my computer. My computer has XP with service pack 3 and Windows Media player 11. The instructions in the manual say:

· On the “Library” menu, select “Media Sharing”
· Select the “Share my Media” check box, and then click “OK”
· Select the AV receiver in the list, and then click ”Allow”

The problem is the “allow” box is grayed out. I’ve tried it with and without the firewall on and I get the same results. Any suggestions?

I would suggest you try to reserve a SKYPE callback reservation (using a Skype enabled device or webcam and microphone, iPad or Android tablet device with Skype, or cellphone with Skype) for an interactive and visual presentation of your current setup so we can further assist you at the following weblink: http://www.onkyousa.com/support_appointment_afaq.cfm?skype=y. This reservation is available Monday -Friday 10am to 4pm EST; we would like to view your setup and work to resolve your issue. This option is only available for Onkyo USA and Onkyo Canada customers only; please contact your regional Onkyo Product Support department for further assistance if you are not an Onkyo USA or Onkyo Canada customer.

Thanks;
