No.
The server in question is all part of the same network, which is to say
they are all on the same side of the firewall. I do not use firewalls in
individual systems.
Two boxes, System A holding the share, System B wanting to run a video
file located on the share. Copy the file local to System B, and it can
be played and viewed with no issues. Try and play it on System B by
accessing it in its location on System A, and the file plays the sound,
but has no video. Same file, same codecs installed, just a difference in
the specific spot the file is sitting.
