Check out ORB for streaming your content online. It works pretty well. Click on the link below for instructions on how to add ORB to your server:

I have it running on and EX470 and for the most part its been working well. I can even watch movies using my Windows Mobile Smart Phone with a 3G connection which not the fastest thing in the world in my opinion but it works and best of all its free.

Actually you can setup 3 accounts from your server software configuration. When you read through the documentation you will find out how to set the first account and then you can add 2 additional accounts for use. There is a web page you can setup to allow others to access your media but I have not done anything with that as of yet so I can offer any advise on how that actually works or how to control who gets access to what.

I do suggest that if you do install it then play with it and see how you like it before allowing others to do the same. There is some wise advise in the WIKI from the site I posted about file access that you should take seriously. Also I would not set or allow others to upload or download content to my server. I try to control everything done on my end as much as possible. The sole purpose for my wanting to actually stream Music, Video, and Pictures is to share my content primarily with my family.

Anyway I think ORB is a good addition to the server but you can also install it and run it from a PC so if your neverous about running it on your server you can install it on a PC and stream from the PC something I have contemplated doing and have the PC access the Media content off the server.

Oh yea there is one thing you should know about the ORB Service and that is sometimes when you logon directly to your server either local if your setup to do so or RDP you should know that when you logoff the ORB Service has a tendancy to shut down. If this happens then you can alway connect to your server then tell it to reboot if your in a remote location and when the server boots it will reactivate the ORB service. If your just using the Console to connect to your server then I do not think you will need to worry about this happening.
