| 610502 | 2007-11-11 15:57:00 | Can I use the files that are stored on THIS computer as a source for files on another WMP player on a second machine on the same LAN? I want to be able to share the files bi-directionally with either computer using either WMP files of either computer . I feel I need to work in the WMP>>Options>>Network tab . . right? I'll need printed instructions here please . These units are both XP/SP-2, WMP10 . . . . maybe I'll try the PCLOS networking later thru WINE . . . . we'll see! <why do I complicate things that are running just fine?> |

| 610503 | 2007-11-11 16:26:00 | OK..I started clicking on things in that Network area, and still I cannot get the files to cross-mingle and WMP tells me it cannot find the file. I think I've done it right...but it isn't liking my tinkering yet. I tried the AUTO Config..but somehow it is being dumb. Is this a PORT assignment problem? |

| 610504 | 2007-11-11 16:50:00 | If your computers are networked and if the folder with the files are set to share then they should work fine. I can play MP3's from any of the other 3 computers here on the PC in my Office. Likewise my daughter can play mp3's on her pc that are on my HDD here. |
