OMFG...so I have a Belkin Router and of course it doesn't connect...the Chromecast appears in the Windows 7 network window but there is no connectivity between the TV and the computer.
Belkin website appears equally clueless...the best they are suggesting is to take the Router off 'Auto' and choose another channel.
Any ideas?

Did you turn it on to connect?
Did you go to chromecast.com/setup or whatever it was?
No offense, but have you actually installed the app on your PC? Have you tried it from your phone/tablet?
I have downloaded the chromecast app to my desktop and it runs through the set up process (the coloured circle) and it finds the chromecast.
Then I get the message 'We cant seem to connect to your Chromecast'...'Make sure your chromecast (its on) is powered on and you are not on a VPN (Im not).
Have you got an active firewall on your PC?
Yes enabled chromecast permission to go through it.
As I mentioned earlier I've never used one before, but in terms of general troubleshooting I'd:
- Update the firmware (if possible)
- Disable the firewall (just to eliminate it as a possibility)
- Try it from a mobile device (potentially eliminates your PC as the issue)
- Disable any virtual network devices you have installed on the PC (seems to be a common issue)
- Factory reset the Chromecast and start again
- Run through the Chromecast Troubleshooter
Teach me about Plex. I installed it but don't know how to use it. HahahaI have one and in general find it pretty good. I find I have to reboot the chromecast everytime I use it which isnt difficult but a little annoying- I think this is more the TV's fault though, its a cheap chinese noname.
It is pretty cool being able to cast videos from the net with out any fuss though.
I use Plex to cast my locally stored content which works well although it does drop out every so often - possibly due to the distance from the router.
Install it on your media PC and install the plex app on your phone or tablet (may be a paid app in the vivinity of $5 - cant remember). Create an account and add the media folders on your media pc into your plex library.
You should then be able to browse your library on your phone through the app. When you want to play something on your chromecast just hit the cast symbol and hit play.... away it goes.
Im the same, i have just got the new samsung S 10.5 and i just cannot get chromecast up and running. Fell like chucking it.Tried a heap of things this past couple of hours...I am sick of wasting my time.
I just think I will keep it and wait until Sept when I sign up the NBN and get a new Telstra NBN network device.

Im going to have one more go and if fail do the same.I took it back and got my money back.
Fore those who have it, is it only restricted to google, youtube etc or can it be used with any content on your tablet/computer to stream to your telly?
Best hope would maybe be a 'screen mirroring' app, which looks like has actually been made available since I purchsed my chromecast - might have to check it out!
I've tried it on my nexus 5, it's actually part of the most recent chromecast app update. Doesn't work on my tablet though which has kit kat.Thanks for that. The Mirroring app sounds like what i want, anyone else tried it?
Thanks for that, and i just had a look and its currently not available for the Galaxy s 10.5I've tried it on my nexus 5, it's actually part of the most recent chromecast app update. Doesn't work on my tablet though which has kit kat.
There is a slight delay in doing something on the phone and it showing on screen. But overall it works very well.
