Hello, I have a question that it's regarding this setting in particular:

How can I make UMS to show itself in BOTH networks, my virtual/hostednetwork and my main network AKA the one provided by my main router.

I ask this because I get better signal from my bedroom when I use UMS on hostednetwork, but my TV and PS3 are connected to the main network of the house and I use that to see the UMS.

Is this even a possibility? Thanks.

You can't, you'd have to run two instances of UMS. That said, I don't understand why this would be desirable. It doesn't help if you have better signal strength on one network if the renderers are on another.

Given how my network is setup the phone or the router blocks something regarding UMS and the phone can't really detect the UMS on the MAIN network. whereas the HOSTED network doesn't care about it.
I have no idea what to change in order to make it work.

Your references to your different networks means nothing to me, I have no idea how you have configured it. Generally though, UPnP doesn't work across routers. The reason is that it relies on multicast, which doesn't traverse routers unless the router is "advanced" and is configured to do so.

Many routers can be put in "bridge"/"transparent"/"AP" mode (there are many names for this), which means that the wireless and the wired will behave as one network, not two that are routed. That's generally the way to do it to get UPnP to work across wired and wireless networks. If you have two wireless networks, I don't think there's an easy way to solve it.
