I don't know what "hub mode" is, but if it's the same as "bridge mode" it should work. Try to turn off all firewalls on PC1 and see if that helps.

When it comes to using ping to test for connectivity, that isn't enough when it comes to UPnP/DLNA. Your ping use unicast which travels easily through routers. For UMS to work, multicast is needed as well - which isn't easily tested with something like ping. It is often the case that a router will allow unicast but block multicast. "Bridge mode" should allow all traffic to pass though.
