Hi everyone , this is my first post from my Axim! woo-hoo!

so my question is- is there a program that can stream .avi files from my pc?

Thanks!

Heres what you can do...you get a connectiong to your pc, so you can explore your shared docs folders from your axim (check out ikehiker's WiFi Guide, it helps a lot, its on the front page of this website)...the easiest way to do it is to go into your shared docs from your axim, tap and hold what you want and select "copy"...on the axim go to where you want to save a shortcut and tap and hold in blank area and select "paste shortcut". this does not paste the whole file, just a shortcut that is usally under 50 bytes...then you tap it and it should play. (all this can be done in file explorer) It is often choppy though, im trying to see if i can use BetaPlayer, hoping that it will be much smoother than WMP, but i have not had success yet...

SORTCUTS!!of corse! thanks mate! good thinking

I am very new to networking, and I may have silly question. When I use Total Commander, I type in \\desktop\ in the pathname, then I am prompted to enter "User name" "Password" and "Domain" ...

1) I suppose these are what allow me to log into my desktop computer, but where do I find this information?

2) Is there a special folder on my desktop that total commander will access, or does it access all of the desktop?

thanks in advance.

What operating system are you using? winxp...just use your longin info and pass that is the same when you start up your pc. if you dont have one then you can just leave it blank. //desktop? are you sure thats the name of your desktop...usually they arent that, unless you named it...just making sure, if it isnt, find out the right name by going to my computer>my network places> and then you should see a name of the computers in your network...just double check the name of the desktop you want to connect to.
