Stream/Access media files, via wifi home network?
- I can't seem to find info on this, but I want to access my shared media files on my desktop pc, via wifi, through my Torch.
basically, I want to watch a media file saved on my computer, and access it on my home network.
I have the network setup to share media files over wifi (My PS3 streams media off my pc already)
Is there a way to do this on a Torch?
Any help is appreciated.

However, you can set up a web server and share the media files through it. Open the BB browser and browse to the web server. I had to use it's IP address. I was able to browse through the folders and pick a movie. It asked if I wanted to save or Open. I pick Open and it starts streaming.
Happens I have a Netgear NAS with a built in web server so I'm using it rather than setting up my laptop as a web server.
YMMV.....
