ok. So mounting obviously is not a solution if it takes 30 Mins. I tried to use the Browser interface to access my Simpleshare 500GB NAS. Works fine to read docs (painfully slow). It wont play Mp3. I guess the transfer rate is too slow for it to work.

I am considering these options...

1. Install Orb and hope N800 finds the server. How to make Canola see Orb on PC? If not I am forced to use MediaStreamer to detect Orb.

2. Turn on xbox xbmc Upnp Server and hope that Mediastreamer or Canola detect it. Has anyone done this? I tried but it wont detect it..

Without mounting, I take it that Canola is not an option for streaming media...right?

Any help appreciated
