Watching Video from another computer

Hi there I am completely lost when it comes to watching Recorded shows off another computer. Can someone please tell me how I watch a recorded show from another computer?

THANKS

it's easy if your on the same network at home, just connect to http://ip:8129 use the ip or the name if you have internal DNS of the machine you recorded on. If you are trying to watch outside of your local network it gets a little more complicated with NAT routers and such.

so if you watch video on another computer that is not connected to your network it is far away what quality should u record at so it can be watched from another computer with high speed internet? 200KBPS? 800KBPS?

Define "High Speed" internet in your case... the important number is what your outgoing bandwidth is. Like here on residential cable we have 1.5 Mb/s incoming but only 128 Kb/s outgoing. That will be the determining factor.

well what i mainly was wondering, is if the computer i am recording with is only 56 K and the computer that I am going to watch the streamed feed is ADSL, then do I have to keep it at 56K settings or ADSL settings?

THANKS

Well I would say that if the computer that is recording has only a 56K connection then you can pretty much forget it. First problem is 56K is not always on, so you would have to remotely start your modem, or have it connected 24/7 which most people don't. Then there is the problem of IP, if you connect via a modem your IP probably changes everytime you connect. Then the fact you would have to use the 56K quality which to me is hardly worth watching.

It may also be worth noting that the upload speed on a 56k modem is only 33.6k at best. Even the 56k settings are probably too ambitious. So I'd have to agree that it's really a lost cause, unless of course you're feeling masochistic.
