I have an old desktop - Want to make media server. How?
How do I turn this desktop into a media server that will house all my music, videos and downloads and all access from every computer in the house (all on wifi).
And how can I allow the other computers to not only access it, but control it? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. :thumbsup |
Just use teamviewer.com
I use it and its worth.. |

just share the folders and mount them on your computer

It started as the XBOX Media Center, but has grown from there. Now will run on pretty much anything. Easiest way to go about it.

XBMC works right out of the box. |
Windows 7 has a super sweet media center built in that allows connections from PS3, PSP, iPod, Xbox, PCs ...... and is totally FREE to try until March 1, 2010.
