I don't see an attachment but from the context I infer you are speaking of the DLNA server option.
With the DLNA server enabled on a moOde player here I see the service advertised in VLC both on my Linux laptop and on mobile devices (where it's a lot easier to find!).
I don't know why you would be entering random IPs from the connected clients table in the miniDLNA status page. That's a list of other devices on the LAN, although I'm not sure whether they are devices whose advertisements were discovered by miniDLNA or v.v.
There's other ways in Linux to discover these services, such as installing a UPnP A/V / DLNA control point app or using utilities such as avahi-discover from the CLI after installing it from your Linux distro. To my way of thinking, most of the utilities present too much low-level detail for most audiophiles who just want things to work (and I'm a guy who loves detail).
As Tim says, it may be a network problem. I recently moved into an environment where the ISP installed an eero mesh network. It's given me some heartburn with erratic mDNS-SD (Service Discovery) which is what many of these nifty services depend on.
