Network share as in via a UNC path
(\\computername\path\filename.ext)? If not that, what?

I haven't tried MPlayer under Windows on anything except for files
on mapped-to-a-letter drives, but I know of no reason why it should
require mapped drives... if it does, that should probably be
corrected.

I was running MPlayer in Linux (Ubuntu, Hardy Heron), and the file
was on the MediaXP (64) SP3 Dual-core computer it had been downloaded
to, connected over ethernet.

But connected by what method, on the software side? SMB/CIFS? Something
else (which Windows, against all odds, actually supports?)

How do you access the file's location, from the Linux box?

When I do across-the-network playback on my own Linux box, I do it
simply by mounting a remote path to a local directory, and at that point
it can be accessed exactly like a file on the local computer - just with
slower I/O. I would absolutely not expect MPlayer to behave any
differently with a file accessed that way from how it would behave with
a file physically on the local computer. Since you say it did behave
differently, I presume that that is not how you did it, but I know of no
other way it can be done (short of program-specific syntax, such as that
used by e.g. rsync); therefore I ask.
