Do you know that the network is good ? I'd recommend using iperf[1] to first check you have a good network connection between Windows and Solaris. The reason I says this is because I've seen similar issues with two friends setting up a similar thing. For streaming video you might actually be better off using a upnp media server on the Solaris system such as mediatomb[2].
