Thanks for all your answers guys! And sorry for not responding for three days, I was away on holiday. From what you say I will give DLNA a try (no other choice, I simply want to watch movies stored on my pc). I found some list of DLNA software on http://www.rbgrn.net/content/21-how-to-choose-dlna-media-server-windows-mac-os-x-or-linuxbut I will give a try to ushare and MediaTomb first. I'll go through the list and try each piece of software and see which one works best with my telly x gentoo combination. I'll let you know as soon as I have more info! Cheers, Peter
