Oh ok. Hmm this is looking to be complicated haha. Could I leave out my WinMCE computer and just use the WinXP and LMCE computers?


ALSO:What should I do about all the Win sharing drives in my "manage Drives" menu? There is about 6 or 7 in there. Is there a way I can remove them and try to have them reconnect?

Ok. Thanks for the help, it's been great ! So I don't live at this house all the time so will my Dad still be able to get on his computer (Win mce) without having the LMCE box on?

Well I do have a switch at my house so it would be like: Router port 1 to on-board NIC, pci NIC to switch port 1, win mce to switch port 2, and connect my wireless still to my router?

Haha yeah! Well the thing is, I have a 2WIRE router/modem that has 4 ports built right into the back. I'm short on money right now so what should I do? Should I just buy an external hard drive (http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=395871)? I know Seagate is reliable and has a good warrenty. Would this be the cheapest route?

Ok, well I work at a Computer shop(ironic isn't it?) and I can get a network card. Should I use my on-board ethernet port and a pci network card? But on my WinXP(non mce) it is hooked up wireless through a Linksys usb device and both the WinXP MC and LMCE are hooked up hardwire.

Ok, so I have 3 computers in my house. One has WinXP on it, the second has WinXP Media Center, and the third has LMCE. I have 2 HDDs in my XP(non-media center) and in my Media Center XP it has 1 HDD in it. I see a ton of Hard drives in my "Manage Disks" menu and when I try to save media to them it will save them but I can't access them after wards. I need help please! I'm extremely new to all this.
