Multimedia :: Streaming mp3 server, and connection problems

Hi im new to DSL. I just installed it on a old compaq 700 mhz 64mb ram. It went fine, but i really need it as a server(not much other use cause it has video problems, old integrated graphics are shit

) can someone pleaze help. What programs to get and what not is the help i really need, and firefox doesn't let me get online with ethernet connexction? i need help with that too. Thanx for any help i can get.

If you want it stream mp3 music to your local network, you might look into edna in MyDSL repository. It is fairly easy to configure.

Thanx for the info, but i was looking more to use it as a online web server (not LAN)(probably mp3, maybe FTP for data storage). Are there any other software or info i need to know before starting? Thanks

I don't think dtf meant local _area_ network, just any networking in general...
If you actually want a web server, either monkey (included) or apache (mydsl) can be used.

Thanx thehatsrule, i think i'll try monkey first and see if my setup can handle it, also while im writing this do you know if i can stream it to my pocketpc(WM5), cause that would be even cooler than just over network, Thanx for all the info.
