When I run the media streamer, it simply tries to search for "Devices" over and over.... any clues on what to do on the PC side? And, is this streaming app looking for a local media streaming server, or can this be done over the internet?

I got it working by setting up the UPnP server module in Nero-7. I'm at a bit of a loss though as it only seems to work on the internal home network.

My question is: "What's the use of that?" If I want to listen to music when I'm at home I'd be much better listening to it over the 'real' speakers and sound system rather than the N800's tiny speakers!

Am I missing something? What I would like to be able to do when away from home is to use the N800 and media-streamer to access my home Nero-7 UPnP server over the internet to listen to my music, watch any of my videos, or browse some photo's.

Is this possible?
