Hi

I'm new to Windows Media Server. I have the following scenario in mind (below) but I don't seem to find the way to do it

I want to stream a file (on-demand) that isn't located on the server itself, but on an other computer on my LAN. In the publishing point manager I can't select a non-local source; only local disks (including floppy drive and cd-rom) are shown. Even a mapped network drive is not displayed and thus not selectable
Is there any way to do this

Thanks for your help
Stijn
