Alright so this is going to a long winded post and I dont know if it will ake sense when all said and done, but here it goes. I need help from someone whole could provide me with a guide or step by step (AIM, etc) instructions on how to set up my Windows XP box to be a server for my home network. What I want to accomplish is being able to drag and drop folders, files, anything from the PC computer to my Powerbook, wirelessly, through an Aiport Express. Probably wondering why, is because all my music and ~40 DVD rips are located on my harddrive(s) on the Wintel box so I can stream through itunes to my powerbook, which I in turn stream wirelessly back through the airport speakers. This used to not be a problem because all the music and movies fit on the powerbook, but now im up to about 110gigs so I am doing it this way. Does anyone know if its posssible to set up. Turn the windows box into some type of server for the network so, for example, if i wanted to make a new mp3 ringtone for the phone I could just drag a song from itunes let it transferr to the powerbook where I can edit it down and everything. Alright, anyway, If someone could help that would be great and you will get a few reputation points out of it. Thanks, Mike
