this computer is the one you successfully accessed the minidlna web page
from? or a different computer connected via ethernet? i'm just trying to
verify that you have successfully accessed the webpage for minidlna from
a wireless device/computer.

if yes, then you could use nmap or a nmap gui (nmap-qt4 ?) to scan the
host that is supposed to be serving minidlna and make sure that port is
actually open/visible. IOW, just start ruling things out. If that port
is open/accessible from a remote machine then try different apps on the
clients to make sure it's not just buggy clients. you might also try
different minidlna servers. i know when i tried to use minidlna the
servers and client apps were very picky and some were very flakey too. i
ended up ditching minidlna(even though i had it working most of the
time) and just using samba just because i didn't like how non-robust it
all was.
