After many long nights of experimenting with the right combination of applications …success!
MY OBJECTIVE: Stream MKV video files from my Windows 7 x64 desktop to my Droid X via 802.11g.
On the Droid – install:
#1) Vplayer
#2) UPNplayer (launch this instead of DLNA)
On the Desktop – install:
#1) ffdshow
#2) Haali Media Splitter
#3) TVersity Media Server
I accepted all installations as default. You might want to tweek TVersity to get optimal results.

After many hours and shuffling through lots of BS on the web …this works:
#1) Find, burn, and CD boot your PC with: 1KDStaz0.9_2.3.340.iso
#2) Find a copy of “Z4″ & install/run on your Droid X.
#3) Find a copy of “Droid2Bootstrap.apk” & install/run on your Droid X.
#4) Put “dxgbrooted.zip” on your microSD card (via USB) – install via “Droid2Bootstrap”
BANG!!!! “Rooted Gingerbread”
