Hello, I have added the HP H5555 to my wireless network at home and I was
wondering if there is a way to play a video file stored on a computer on the
netowork through my PDA. I know it's easy to do this from PC to PC but is
it possible to do so with a PDA or does the video file actually have to
reside on the PDA itself?

Thanks ahead of time.

In WMP (or whatever program u use to play the video) select 'Open URL' and
insert the network address. Alternatively with a program like Resco File
Explorer, you can map the network drive and click on the file you want to
play...I am doing this with my H5550 with both my video and music collection

FYI: The File Explorer that comes with h5555 does support network
file shares.
