I have a couple PCs that need to share the internet. Three of them are used just to check email, listen to music, web browse, that kind of thing, the last one is an HTPC. I'd like to be able to share videos and music on the HTPC with the other 3 computers. I also would like to be able to transfer files to and from work to my PC (a non-HTPC), share my printer with the other local PCs, and play games online. Anything else I'd like to disable to make my home network as secure as possible. Can anyone suggest how I should go about doing so or any online guides.
All the PCs run Win XP Pro, all wires have been run, I have my cable modem running and a Dlink 604 router currently on default settings. I have decent computer knowledge just no networking experience, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
