Windows Media Player Network Sharing missing from services

[Kaysel]

Earlier I had setup my D-Link Media Center successfully which was working great but as it was without security protection I found few people around me hogging my media and internet connection. Hence I thought to secure it using WEP protection. Now since I protected it, D-LINK Media Center is not working at all. Even I’m not able to use it anymore. Yes, ofcourse I enter proper network ID and password but I cannot find any shared media.

Any help will be appreciated.
