    You can setup a homegroup in windows 7. This will allow you to share your libraries with any computer connected to the homegroup. Setting up sharing without using a homegroup isn't an easy procedure. I did it a few months ago, but i don't remember all the details.

    With windows xp, setting up sharing will be more complicated. Homegroups is a windows 7 only feature. This article should help you setup sharing for two windows xp computers: How to use the Simple File Sharing feature to share files in Windows XP. Do take note that streaming video content at HD resolutions take a lot of bandwidth and if you are on a wireless g network, you might lack sufficient bandwidth for 1080p videos. SD videos will stream just fine. windows 7 to Windows xp sharing is more of a nightmare if i recall correctly, hopefully that is not your case.
