[QUOTE="markrb, post: 64641, member: 19996"] I have two other PC's. The server and my main machine on the network. Most files are located on the server RAID 5 array. It's about 750gb's in size. The server is simply another WinXP Pro machine with simple drive shares. Most of the files are in the root. There are probably 60-70 files there. I have 4 Directories in the root of the RAID drive. Each is a Different TV show. If I have multiple seasons then the seasons are broken into directories in the main folder. If I get time I will move the sub folders to another drive so there are simply files in the share. If that works I will try creating shares of folders instead of drives. This way it always appears as a root drive. I will also force an IP on the Server and try to map using the IP address. It all comes down to time though. 12 hours a day at work leaves little time for the PC. I ran a Cat 5 cable to my HTPC and tried it direct wired. There was no difference. I tried maping as network name instead of the share name with no difference. Mark [/QUOTE]
