[QUOTE="pepsi_max2k, post: 29162, member: 17157"] hey, not entirely sure what you want to do, but i'll post some random mumblings anyway. >>What kind of bandwidth would I be needing for streaming video from the server whatever you're doing, it's all just data over the network, and so it only depends on the amount of data, doesn't matter what it is. if you're video's encoded at 160,000kbps (media portal's mpeg2(type) standard, equal to about 20 megabytes a second) then that's what'll be going over your network each second. now, i dunno if this is something to do with people getting MBs and Mbs confused but if i'm right then your norm for a basic gigabit LAN is 100Mbps, which is just over 10 megabytes a second at best. so you wouldn't wanna be transfering any uncompressed dvr-ms or mpeg2 files over in realtime. but your 192kbps sound files would be fine. (please someone tell me that's all wrong, 10 megabytes a second just doesn't seem right). [b]EDIT: ok, i [i]know[/i] that's wrong. the dvr-ms files are giving me a bitrate of 160,000 kbps yet that would be 20 megabytes a second, whereas my 30 second clips are only half that in total. so i guess the bit rate's wrong....[/b] of course, if you compress them then that's another thing. im guessing the best you'll get from 802.11g is about 20 Mbps, and the worst media portal is gonna to to the videos is just over 700 Kbps. a mixture of wired and wireless is fine, if you can get them to work then it shouldn't make any difference, other than the wired should be faster (and as i understand it, if you add an 802.11b card into an 802.11g network it's gonna slow all the wireless stuff down to 802.11b, or i think that's what my lecturer was getting at anyway). anyway, you can access anything just with windows network places folder, nothing else needed. as far as serverside stuff goes, i really don't know what you're getting at, but anyway, here's something i use on my pc so i can access music files on it over a network (including the internet, though the uni's proxy/firewall put a stop to that): [url]http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
