hey guys,
After months of configuring and bug fixing my htpc is finally in a working state . I am using mediaportal so i can stream live tv across the network (hopefully, i'll be testing this tommorow) but i'm not sure about how i will be able to share my dvds and music that are stored on the htpc. I'm hoping that this is automated by mediaportal but in case it isnt and also because i've been trying this for ages on my main pc, this is what i need help with. Is it possible to map a hdd from xp to my vista machine across the network AND is there a way to make it only between these two machines so for instance no one else on the network will be able to see the hard drives and steal my files?
I'm sure it isn't as difficult as i make out but after googling and trying it myself i cant find a way to do it without sharing the entire hard drive with everyone on the network. Any help would be appreciated...
