I tried to set the drive's sharing setting to the maximum allowed for everybody and also set the media sharing in the network and sharing center to maximum allowed. Nada!!
I also noticed a difference between the MCE settings of the extender and the PC.
The normal (MCE-PC) items are : General -- TV -- Pictures -- Music -- DVD -- Extender -- Library.
The items in the DMA2100 MCE settings are: General -- TV -- Pictures -- Extender -- Library.
So Music and DVD are missing !
I fear that I missed something simple but can't find where and what.
Can somebody help ??

That's one of the things that Media Extenders don't do - play DVDs from the Media Center PC. Not a limitation of the Linksys product but of Microsoft's Media Center. If you want to watch the same DVD over and over again, you can copy it onto the PC and covert it to a video format the Linksys will play. That is why the DMA2200 has a built-in DVD player (that runs outside the Media Center interface).
