[QUOTE="Feynt, post: 714886, member: 111174"] Unfortunate. FTP is preferred in my opinion, and I know you can stream MP3s at the least via FTP. And no possibility to just download in the background while watching something in the foreground which is already cached? I had actually set the folders to be shared, but I hadn't clicked the "New Share" button. That might be the step I missed, though I did give it a proper name at the top of the dialog. XP x64 has a different share dialog and lets you set the name on the same page as enabling the sharing. I can't seem to find a picture of it right now though. I'll try it when I get home. No firewalls, it's strictly a computer to computer connection. I'm using ICS to allow the media computer connect through my gaming computer. Pinging the address works (obviously), and as mentioned FTP works. Work groups are the same as mentioned before. I am trying to open the folder through the run dialog (Start->Run:\\192.168.0.1\<folder name> ) but I keep getting error messages. I'm not home right now to check what that error is at the moment. I'll try the New Share button later when I get home and if it fails provide the error for possible further troubleshooting. [/QUOTE]
