WMP11 Media sharing issues
I set up vista on both my laptop and PC and opened media player only to find
i could remotely share files (i'm a bit slow). I then spent the best part of 2 hours trying to get it to work. both computers find each other, but no files load. The message "No Files have been found on this remote library" comes up whenever i try to view files on either machine. I'm actually able to share pictures, and Videos - however, i've found they HAVE to be on my computer's HD in order to share. I have a media drive full of all my music/videos/pictures and it nothing from there shows, even though they're all in my library. This must work, otherwise it wouldnt have been advertised, but how do i get it to work? I managed to play a video file from my PC to my laptop but it was from my c:/ instead of my x:/ and even when i load music through my c drive, i cant get it to transfer to the laptop. Any ideas? |
