    So, here's the network.

    Panasonic TV (DLNA Device) - Ethernet
    WDTV Live Plus (DLNA Device) - WLAN
    Windows 8 PC - Ethernet
    Windows 7 PC - WLAN
    Samsung Galaxy S3 - WLAN

    The WDTV can act as a media player for both the Windows 7 PC and Samsung Galaxy S3.

    The TV can act as a media player for the Windows 8 PC.

    If I connect the Windows 7 PC via Ethernet, then the TV sees it and can act as a media player for it and the WDTV no longer can.

    The TV can't act as a media player for the Samsung Galaxy S3 nor can they see each other to use the Galaxy S3 as a wireless remote (Viera remote android app) .

    Why can my wireless devices talk to each other and my wired devices talk to each other, but the wireless devices can't talk to the wired devices?!

    I have a Fios Actiontec router.

    Any ideas?

    Based on my knowledge if these device in the same subnet, they can connect with each other. Also, the issue is realted to Samsung connection problem. The proper forum to solve your issue should be Samsung Support forum. Redirect the issue to that forum should be better choice.

    Actually I figured it out.  It's an issue with the latest firmware in Verizon's Fios Router.  I had to disable IGMP proxy.

    Here's a verizon forum thread on it
