OT: Computer Networking

[PvK]

A wireless router (and wireless network cards for each computer, assuming you want to do it wireless) would do it. The router is what plugs into the Internet, and then shares it to the computers on your local network, also protecting them from many direct attacks. Though do set up security on the router and your computers so you're not allowing anyone in radio range to access your computers...

For FireFox, I'm not sure. All I see is Tools/Options/Content/Fonts&Colors, which lets you set default font size, but it's not as good as Opera's Zoom feature, and might not have any effect on pages which set font sizes...

FF has a minimum font size (under the advanced button) which affects every font, regardless of how it is set. "zoom" is overrated, but available for most browsers via plugins.

Slim Server is an excellent way to stream music over a network from a central store (or even over the internet).

VLC can play movie files from another PC on the same network.

Windows Media Player 11 is supposed to have network streaming capabilities as well, but I'm not sure if you have to access it from a PC with windows media center or not...

or just stick all your music in a shared folder and access it from whatever music player you are using
