Windows Media Streaming ... not as cool as I expected

I was looking forward to use the powerful workstation in my closet to stream Recorded TV to my HDTV connected machine (Lenovo S12).  The idea is to offload the resources consumption on the S12 so that it can perform better.  However, it wasn't behaving as I expected.  The TV shows did show up on S12, but it lost all the meta data, which makes the navigation painful.  So I guess I have to stick with using S12 to both record and watch HDTV.  On the bright side, the steaming did run OK.

However, I had problem streaming data from the closet PC to my office laptop M6400.  I keep getting "failed to connect".  Since I already spent way too much time on this, I am giving up.  Gotta spend my time on something useful.
