Options for setting up home network (Win 7)?
-
Here's the scenario: I have 2 Win 7 Ultimate desktops, 3 Win 7 Home Premium laptops, an XBox 360 console, and 2 iPod Touch (4 people in household). Currently, all machines are stand alone and access the internet via WiFi/FiOS router. I'd like to set up a network but I don't want to go through a lot of trial and error in an attempt to "get it right." Here's what I think I want from my network: * All machines can access the internet (wirelessly or connected to router) * Network drive for shared files * Auto backup/syncing of shared and non-shared files to network drive when laptop or desktop is connected to network * Auto backup of network drive to external drive w/ some folders going to cloud (Dropbox?/Skydrive?) * Wireless printing (currently have 4-in-1 inkjet connected to 1 of the desktop) * Everything (network and files) must be secure * Stream Netflix on Xbox 360 I'd really appreciate any help 1) what software to use (I have licensed install disks for Home Server and Sharepoint/Groove but not sure if there's another approach), and 2) how to set it up. Any other features that you think I should add would also be appreciated. (I'm competent, but not a network admin, so links to instructions/guides would really be great!)

Answer:
Windows 7 does that for you. Just open Network and sharing center. Just type Net in the search box.
