How to connect DLNA-ready TV to PC?

Question

I have DLNA ready Samsung TV at home. I've tested it with my router. Everything goes well.

Is it possible to connect the TV directly to a PC via ethernet cable? If so, how can configure the PC to handle it?

Solution

You could use a crossover network cable and fix the IP address of both your PC and the TV in the same subnet, but it would be simpler just to buy yourself a cheap router.

What are you trying to do? Play movies from your PC on the TV?
