how can i share my HDs on my home network?
Drew
I have 5 computers, the main one running Vista, one laptop running Windows 8, and three netbooks running Windows 7. I'd like to be able to watch movies and listen to music that I have stored on 3 external hard drives hooked up to my main computer (the Vista one). How can I access these things on all the devices in the household?

For file sharing I would recommend a dedicated NAS.
If this is out of your budget, many routers support USB for printer sharing or USB storage devices.
You can connect a USB portable hard drive and use it like a NAS (Network Attached Storage) drive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network-attached_storage You'll have to check your router manual to see if it supports USB storage devices and how it is configured on the router.
The advantage of network attached storage (NAS) is that the data can be accessed (shared) by other devices connected to your network and you don't have to have a dedicated PC running 24/7 to share the drive.
You are not going to get the speed or versatility of a dedicated NAS, but if you have a limited budget it does function.
I personally use three different brands of dedicated NAS devices, two are configured in a raid one configuration for redundancy, you can even have the device email you when a drive is failing, and swap in a replacement without losing a bit of data.
If you're in the market for a NAS, I would highly recommend the Synology line. http://www.synology.com/products/product.php?product_name=DS212j&lang=us By far the best user interface and features. It runs Linux and is highly configurable. It includes a download server, media server, individual user security, and too many other features to list. The Synology DS212j is now under $200 at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005YW7OLM/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B005YW7OLM&linkCode=as2&tag=excharge-20
You can also set up file sharing,
For this to work you need to set up file sharing on the desktop and share the external USB drives. The methods to do this vary with your OS and version. Here is a video for setting up file sharing on a Win 7 OS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rP3eR3aNxEw
The desktop PC will need to be left on and connected to your home network, preferably via a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet connection or Gigabit Ethernet.
Good Luck...
