Your Digital Media Has Never Looked So Good
I had real problems getting Soundbridge to work with Windows 7 and I'm trying to think through some of the other things I did though I was not entirely certain what was necessary! In WMP have you clicked on Library>Stream>Automatically allow devices to play my media? Secondly, again in Stream>More streaming options have you allowed Soundbridge access. Thirdly, and now we are getting into the realm of the desparate, I deleted the other library locations WMP had found so that only my music folder was left, that was just before I did the things I posted about in the previous post and so may have been redundant, but hey desparate times....I can't remember Vista being this hard and Windows 7 is supposed to be more intuitive!
Alackman,
I agree with mattyr1 that this is a Windows 7 issue as WMP does not announce itself as a UPnP server on the network.
If in WMP you click "Stream" which are the options?

I agree it is a windows 7 problem but thats just what I cant figure out. Windows does register that the soundbridges exist as I can change their name and radio presets etc from PC.
When I click stream in WMP I get these options:
Allow internet access to home media
allow remote control of remote player
automatically allow devices to play my media
and then,
more streaming options

Yes both soundbridges are in the list of devices and set to allow
How do I check this?
Somrhting else that means nothing to me but may be part of this, when i click on options in WMP and then network tab, the streaming proxy settigns are as follows:
HTTP - Browser
RTSP - none
thank you so far for your help and hopefully you can help me get this sorted

Go to the Start menu, type in services in the search box, then run the application called "services" that will appear at the top of the menu. Look for those 2 services in the list, they should say Started under the Status column and Automatic under the Startup Type.
And reboot the computer at some point, to make sure all the settings you have been playing around with are applied.

Alackman,
These are the default settings in Windows 7 Home Premium, there's no need to change them.
The "Network" options of WMP have nothing to do with local streaming, they only affect audio and video streamed from the Internet.
More questions:
1) Which antivirus software are you using?
2) Do you run a firewall other than the one built into Windows 7?
3) Which media types are checked if you go to "More streaming options" and then choose "Choose homegroup and sharing options"?

Alackman,
the Windows Firewall shouldn't interfere unless you changed some settings.
To setup a Homegroup you don't need a second PC with Windows 7.
From what I have seen on BullGuard's website their internet security suite includes a firewall. For testing reasons please temporarily disable (uninstall) this software and check if that resolves the issues with both WMP and the Homegroup.
