Archos 605 wifi- how to stream with Vista and WMP11

How to video- You can easily stream media from Vista to your Archos 605 WiFi. I was able to stream my videos and pictures to my Archos but my music from Wmp11 would not show up in my Archos music folder. Also, Mp4 video files do not appear in the wmp11 video folder. Hopefully, these are simple settings that i missed. I hope you have better luck and if you do please post a comment of success or failure. You can also post your comments at the the Archos forums- they're alot smarter than i am. http://forum.archosfans.com

If a home PC is setup to stream via WiFi to the Archos unit...can you then take the Archos unit to another WiFi hotspot far away...and still access the same network? (assuming the PC is powered on and connected)

YES! but not easy.Most home networks have dynamic IP addresses. Which means you may need special software like PC Anyware to access your home network. Next, the Archos uses the library from WMP, or can use the library from another program with UPnP. I dont know how to connect to that (WMP) from an outside network. But you can use the Archos file manager to connect to a shared folder on your computer,just share it and give it permissions.Remember you need a WEP key if connecting through a router.

Guys, can you stream wirelessly FROM this device to another, such as a stereo?
