No, it doesn't work. The drives containing the avi's are shared on the network, but it won't open in the browser. Like I said, when I use the editor, they open fine; it is from the web site that I am having the problem. That is why I was wondering if it was my code or the setup.Not sure if I understand, but... on the machine that you have problems opening of the video file... can you just type//Windowsxppro/Movies/Action/A_Man_Apart.avi
in the browser's address bar and access the video?The link is relative to the client... not the server! So if the client doesn't have access to the address, then... well... it doesn't have access to it - whether the server does or not, doesn't matter.

Well, at the present time I am unable to relocate the files to the web server (lack of funds mainly). So I am attempting to link to them from the computer they are on for the time being. I am trying to make the files viewable from all of the computers on the network (there are 2 servers, one desktop and 1 laptop currently, but there is a future addition of 1 more desktop soon), as well as work on my networking skills (I am a networker, not a web designer). Like I said, the site works, but the links do not.Is there a problem with you putting the files on the web server? -
I am having some trouble with my intranet that I am setting up; mainly with the media files I am serving to the network. I have a working website up for it, and everything works except for the video files opening into the default player. Instead, it opens up into a "Page cannot be displayed". However, when I am previewing the website through the HTML kit, the video opens in the player without a problem. The files I am attempting to open are located on a different computer than the web server itself, where the website is stored. This is an example of the code I am using. <a href="//Windowsxppro/Movies/Action/A_Man_Apart.avi" ><img alt="A Man Apart" src="Images/PNG/AManApart.png" height="99" width="70" /></a>Any ideas what is wrong here?
