Home network file sharing

tcbmmoor · 11-21-05, 04:31 PM

Does anyone know how to see other computers/drives on your axim while connected to my home network? Kinda like you would through network places on a desktop.

Use Internet Explorer \\

Sorry, my message in the brackets was cut out...
In Internet Explorer in the address, use \\ then the IP or Comp name.
Example:
\\brussell
or
\\192.168.169.170

From File Explorer you can just use the Connect button on the toolbar at the bottom. It looks like a folder with a hand underneath.

I suppose thats the better way to do it.
Internet Explorer transfers you to File Explorer when you do it that way anyway.

Is it possible to watch a large Divx video that is located on your home network via the Axims wireless card?

I have tried to do this in betaplayer but the video keeps pausing. Is this the fault of the program or a limitation of the Axim?

The Axim would be so much cooler if I could watch any video that was located on my home network.

You'll have to turn up the cache (up to 10MB) and the option to have "smooth video over buffer" in order for it not to stop all the time in the middle of the video. Also, use no security or WPA. I tried WEP and it was damn slow.

How do I change the cache?

I might be able to do this stuff without Resco then and just use betaplayer.

What format are your videos?

My card captures mpeg2, but TCPMP says it cannot open them from my pc.

Are your videos divx or avi formatted?

It's an option in TCPMP.

Sorry for asking again.

Are your videos captured those formats or do you convert them from mpeg2?

thanks again.

Don't really know since I get the shows off the internet. But I presume they were captured in those formats. I believe TCPMP does not support mpeg2.
