inside my parents house, there is broadband internet, netgear router, PCs, a mac, and a ps3. i have a mac at MY house. what i want to do is setup some sort of network so that any pc/mac/ps3 can access files,media, printers, etc. In addition to this,i want to be able to "dial in/ log in" from across the internet and thru the router connection at my house or from someones laptop.
my understanding of how this stuff works isn't zero but, i'm not exactly sure of everything i need 2 do in order 2 get this working the way i want....
also would BOTH routers need ports forwarded, or jus the parents router with the network?
btw, the host machine thats on all the time would be an XP machine, unless theres someway to host a network somewhere on the internet or something... but that sounds like a whole nother ball of wax
plenty of input would be GREAT! TIA
