Ipaq 1945 running Windows 2003 using MediaPlayer 9.
I can play mp3s from my pc to my ppc using bluetooth just
fine using Resco Explorer to click on the song I want to
hear. Only thing is I can't get MediaPlayer to recognize
my network when I go to edit my playlists. There must be
a way that MediaPlayer will let me cue songs over my
wireless network...anyone have any clues??? I am properly
networked and as I said I can play songs if I click on
them in Resco Eplorer. Could it be that I need to "Open
URL" from the settings menu and enter the ip address of my
pc??? I have tried that but it did not work.
Thanks.

If you really get stuck...

Try running WMP on the desktop and using Windows Media Encoder to stream the
output. That works but you don't have control of the player. I've used this
trick to "tune in" to Internet radio stations that can't be played on the
PPC directly.
