stupid question here goes -

have desktop downstairs connected via ethernet cable (wireless) router. wish store movie files, photos, music files etc on desktop , have them accesible other computers scattered around house - these laptops connected wirelessly router there 1 other desktop upstairs connected via ethernet cable router downstairs.

how achieve this? although familiar windows , have in past created windows networks this, not sure how start ubuntu/ linux.

have couple of questions -

1, possible windows computers connect "network" or must network members running ubuntu?
2. can files accessed fast enough that, instance, remote computer view movie file stored on downstairs desktop?

help.

in file manager nautilus, can right-click on folder , select "sharing options." have give "share name" may name of folder, or other name. nautilus might tell install software @ point.

click options. computer , shared folder should visible to/usable both windows , linux computers. in ubuntu, start @ places/network.

characteristics of network , resolution of video determine whether can play server. if flakey, copy file temporary-files folder.
