I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you. There's good news and bad news!

First, I took your advice and snoozed ZoneAlarm, disabled the router's firewall and enabled DMZ. At this stage I was able to get MinimStreamer to work simply using 'New Location' with foobar 2000. However, I still wasn't able to see any server in the UPnP Browser! I then disabled DMZ. re-enabled the router firewall and ZoneAlarm and was still able to use 'Add New Location' to stream all the BBC channels as before using http://192.168.1.*:9790/minimstreamer/*/R?

In short, a positive result. However it's bugging me why I can't use the UPnP plugin (Browser and Controller) in conjunction with the BBC Radio.m3u file. Strange! If you have any further ideas please let me know!

Thanks for your help.

This is likely to be a UPnP discovery issue with your network or router. UPnP discovery uses UDP multicast messaging to port 1900 and your router (or switch if you have one) might be blocking this. Another possibility is that an IGMP snooping setting in your router or switch is conflicting with UPnP discovery and causing the problem. If there is a setting in your router (and/or switch) to disable IGMP snooping, it would be worth trying this.
