Orb is more difficult. It relies partly on an internet service and partly on a media streaming server on your PC. So your PC with Orb needs to be connected to the Internet in any event in order to function correctly. (eliminating the need for your wifi/bluetooth bridge)

The apache server has nothing to do with this. You need network routing not a web server.
Thanks.
Why orb server should be connected to the Internet to function correctly ?
No chance to run it Wifi peer-to-peer ?
Frankly speaking I prefer not to have a remote middleware server in control of my media streaming from my PC to Nokia tablet.

So if not orb, so mayby there is another software application run under XP Windows to stream media content over wifi to Nokia tablet ?
Some time ago I played around with winamp media broadcasting server over ethernet network.

Thanks.
