You can mount a network HDD on your pc, regards playing the movies it all depends on the format.
Where can I find a link to do that please
Off the top of my head in Network settings there's network mount manager. You can then mount shared folder from your PC.
Yes mate mountmanager is there I will have to have a mess around with it...Thanks
Make sure you set up a cifs share and make sure the folder that you want to see on your pc also has sharing enabled.
What is cifs share mate sorry if its a silly question
CIFS allows you to share with a windows hard drive or media and NFS allows you to share with another linux based hdd or media
Have you found the network browser under menu > setup > system > Network > NetworkBrowser ?
Ah I got it mate thanks for your help
Yes thanks
can you please let us know how you did it?

Dont bother trying to play media files via wifi, 54g just isn't fast enough.

What resolution are the files your playing on the Solo? Are they HD?
hmm, HD is fine on the duo but I can not recall testing HD on the solo, I will make some tests and let you know.
