Hello Jim, This I know, however I want these apps to run behind the firewall, but not clog my own machine up - that way I can do important stuff without losing performance on my own PC. I should point out that I am fully aware of making sure that shared directories only contain files I want other people to see. I also normally clean all files out of my shared directory at regular periods. I'd also like to be able to run media player on my server so I can use it to listen to internet radio stations - however, I can't - it won't connect. Anyone have any ideas ?
