Here's the situation (skip to the bolded part for the issue).
I have three computers in the house; a wired HP desktop running Windows Vista Home Premium (Soon to be Windows 7 Home Premium), an Alienware laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate and an Acer laptop running Windows Vista ultimate (I excluded a PS3 because mine is in the shop right now, and I'm not so sure I'll be sharing files with it just yet).
My plan is to create a media network between all three computers so that I can access my music (movies and pictures later on) anywhere in the house.
So far I've shared my music folder on my Alienware with the rest of the network and I can access the music from the other two computers. I've also shared my iTunes library (which is in the music folder) between my two laptops. I can also access that.
My issue is that I've recently decided to use Windows Media Center (I'll expand on this later) as the overall hub. So I would like to access the music that is shared via Media Center, but I can't find an option like that. How can I fix this?
The reason behind my choice of using WMC, is that iTunes is required to be open so I could share the library and I'm assuming WMC will work better when I move on to connect my HP with my Daytek HDTV via the supplied IR receiver and broadcast cables (if you know anything on this, feel free to help out).
