Network Question - Win7 and OSX

Hello Everyone,

I had a quick question regarding network and sharing media between my machines.

Currently I have a windows 7 desktop (and Ubuntu!) and a new to me Macbook Pro that I recently purchased. Both are running under wireless connections (neither machine is cabled in) to connect to my home network.

I want to be able to do the following 2 things easily and smoothly:
A. Share all the content from my desktop computer (movies, music, etc.)
B. Be able to remote desktop from my mac (already have MS Remote Desktop
Connection downloaded) into my Windows 7 desktop every so often.

I wasn't sure what the easiest way to achieve this was, so thought I'd reach out to the community. If there is any additional information I can provide to help you, please let me know!


Thanks,
