Thanks, for the reaction but it still does not work.

When I type :
DISPLAY=:0 mplayer test.avi ( or anything else sugested)

mplayer start's playing but no screen and this message : (sound is ok)

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server

Any other hints?

Thanks,

P.S.: The video data don't need to go over network. I just want to  
start a video playing on PC1 with PC2.
