A message to Damsel & Crash... don't run a PC as a server unless you have
something commercially licencend to be accessed. By this I mean people
paying to access the server for a legitimately licenced product.

Don't give away movies, music, etc. You can be prosecuted for such
activities. A guy in Memphis a couple of months ago was hit with a lawsuit
for using his PC as a server to allow people to d/l music freebies to the
tune of several million dollars. It's not worth it.
