Hi there people!
Hope someone can help! Basically im getting a Philips LX1000 which runs Win XP Media centre which is all well and good... The plan is to get it connected to my existing wireless network. Currently this consists off my hp tablet running Win XP Proffesional with SP2 on it.
Now I know there are some network restictions with media centre so I've read, i.e its not able to join a domain. But im not really a techy so I don't understand what it can and can't do.
I would like to know:
1. With ITunes running on Media Centre - can I share the Itunes library to my Laptop running XP Pro on it? I can do these on a normal network when 2 pcs are running xp but not sure if its compatible with media centre. Has anyone tried it?
2. Can I access my music and video files on media centre with my tablet?
3. Finally is there any way I would be able to remotely control media centre using my tablet running XP? I.e would Win VNC work on it ideally?
Many thanks for your help, hopefully these will all be yes's!!
