WME9 problems

Hey guys,

I did a search and I can't see the answer anywhere..

My goal is just to stream some audio from my PC to my PPC via wifi (and then the Internet, that's phase 2).

I've got WMP9 and WME9 on my PC.

I edited the profile for Pocket PC to set it to 44KHz instead of 48KHz.

I DID have it streaming to the PPC properly just once. Then it stopped. I think this is because I wandered out of wifi range but I'm not 100% sure, it could have been coincidence that it stopped at the same time.

Now, from the PPC when I have the WMP and WME programs running I try to connect to my PC and I get an error from WMP on PPC saying "Windows Media Player cannot play this file".

What's more annyoing is that it worked once but now doesn't.

Rebooted both devices, reverified the 48KHz/44KHz thing. Still no luck.

I have a second PC and the second PC is able to connect to the streaming PC, showing the correct stats. So I know that the stream is running ok.

Any idea why my PPC just cannot stream the file? WMP on the PPC just shows "Connecting" and then the error above.

LOL, found the problem. Just had to reset my router. It's an older router that seems to get buffering issues. I stumbled across it once before actually when trying a DOS and Portscan against my PPC.

Thanks Linksys

Very true. Actually the linksys that I have is one of their very first models. Very different to the current ones. So it's almost time for an upgrade. But in reality I would probably buy another Stinksys. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't right?
