Question:

How to Configure a Windows XP PC for Streaming Media?

Answer:

Turn on the Windows XP PC you want to stream from and log into your account.

Ensure the PC is connected to your network.

Save the media you want to stream in the Windows XP shared or public folder. If you've created subfolders, enable file sharing within them too. (Windows XP Shared Folder = A folder on your computer where you can store files that can be accessed by other computers on your network.)

If you have software like a firewall installed, disable it or modify its permissions to let other devices access the PC. (Firewall = Software that protects your computer from unauthorized access by blocking certain types of network traffic.)

In case of issues accessing shared folders using Windows XP Home, try logging in as a non-admin user to avoid authentication errors. (Authentication Error = When you try to access a resource but are denied because the system couldn't verify your identity.)
