    stream a movie from the HDD of a DM to another DM use network browser and mount the HDD and watch in media player


    Menu>setup>system>network>wireless or lan>network browser>select DM and the HDD you want to mount and change the local share name to what you want and enter the user name and password

              go to network browser on 1st DM
              scan network
              it will find both DM'S
              click on 2nd DM
              expand it then it will ask you if you want to enter a pass click no
              drop down to the hard drive click it
              again it will ask you if you want to enter a pass click no
              then you will see your mount options
              make sure it says enable at the top all other settings should auto fill
              then
              just press ok on the remote
              it will now mount your 2nd DM hard drive
              when done the hard drive icon for 2nd DM should be green
              now go to media player on your 1st DM
              and look for the 2nd DM hard drive
              go in to that and click on a file and it will play

              do all that on both boxes

              if it doz not auto mount
              only in the mount options
              put the dm's username root
              and the password
