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 ?
