I am not sure if this problem is a 64b problem. I have asked on several other forums and I have not had any response. Maybe someone on this list has seen this before. I have a Windows XP computer that I use mostly for storage. It has a large hard drive and lots of room. I have a wireless connection from my laptop to this computer. I am using SuSE 9.2 64b on my laptop. I cannot play any of the music that is stored on the windows computer with XMMS. When I try the title and time show in the scroll window and my onscreen dispaly shows playing for 2 seconds and then shows stopped. I am able to play these music files using MPlayer, so I think my problem is with my XMMS. I have all the XMMS rpms installed. Before I had this 64b laptop I had an older Compaq LT and had SuSE 9.1 installed. With that setup I could play the songs from the windows computer without any problem and I don't remember doing anythingspecial to make that happen, but it was a long time ago. XMMS plays all the files on my localhost without any problem at all. I have even tried putting the firewall down and the results were the same. David
