[QUOTE="mr_si, post: 670026, member: 86867"] Hi HTPC is a XP Home machine, there's a folder on another machine I want to use. It's Win2K, I've set up shares but as (for reasons unknown) it asks me for authentication to browse from any other m/c then MP can't read the share until I've logged on via Explorer. So I've set the Win2K box up as an FTP server. It allows anonymous connections but MP insists upon my entering a username and password (anonymous / anonymous is what I've entered). The files now show up in MP, if I select one it asks me whether it should be downloaded, I say Yes then it stops at 0% On the HTPC I can point firefox at the ftp folder, it shows me the contents OK and downloads a file on click. Any suggestions?
