caching remote media files localy

So here is the setup, i have a pc running windows xp pro hooked to my tv, its networked to my media server (xp pro) downstairs, i play files directly from the server, normaly everything works fine, but sometimes when i am working on my server, then i get spots of lag, i've found a way with winamp to buffer 20 seconds of content so i dont notice the lag, how ever, i cant find a video player to do the same. VLC can do it, but it has to be set each time a file is opened, not set as a default. BSplayer pro 2 says it can, but it does not work at all.

Does anyone know of a media player that can buffer video files from a remote share?
