This was the answer I was looking for. I did find some free UPnP server software, and got that working, but the fact that the Nedia Streamer does not allow options for where/what to search, WWW streaming is not an option. So I simply setup IIS on my XP machine, added my MP3 folders as the web folders, and then made a pls of my entire MP3 directory, forwaded port 80 to that box, and bam, can now stream my media... I just need to put a password to the external IP now to prevent snoopers
