I'm using windows 7 home basic SP1 ,and I have couple of courses on my pc ,I wish to watch it on my iPad vlc media player
Earlier I had achieved this on an Android device ,where I had downloaded an app called "File servers pro" and started a "native dlna server" on it.
Later, On the streaming tab of iPad Vlc player, my Android device name appeared and I could browse and access video files stored on my Android device.
I wish to do the same with windows 7
Main question
Whenever I enable "File and printer sharing" option in "change advanced settings" , it keeps disabling itself, every time .
Note:As of now in the network tab of vlc in ipad and vlc in android device I'm able to see
