OK, got a reply. The external hardrive needs to be in FAT 32 format. Tried anothe pen drive, in FAT32, saw it a treat.
Thanks to the ArchosFans forum.
 

JSW - You are a star....thanks matey. The thread that cracked my media serving problem was here

If anyone else is having issues with WiFi or file serving, that thread is very very helpful. I needed to tweak my Norton settings a bit to get me going.

I have also got the direct Archos (UK) support number which saves having to dial their outrageous 09 @ 25ppm number - 0207 949 0115

good luck chaps - i'm off to play media streaming for a while.....:clap:
 
I havent bothered with Wi fi but for watching on its a treat, I copied some old films from my Archos AV420 quality is watchable but not as impressive as they appeared on the AV420.

The difference between the AV420 and the 704, the AV420 does have the better picture BUT try watching football, subtitles on 420 or the 500 600 series and thats where the 704 pips it. It does have the looking through stockings appearance that some one mentioned and all depends on how close you are to the unit, but you soon get used to it and to be honest i hardly notice it now.

Overall im impressed it looks sexy and the picture although not as vibrant as the 420 is a treat, my machine will not be going back for a 600 series due to the reasons above IE watching footy, films with subtitles ect.

My only tip is dont waste time transferring old recordings from a AV420 over onto it quality wise its like watching a vhs
