my brother in law is impressed by XBMC and wants to set up something similar for himself. However, he wants to have it set up remotely on his machine in his office (his internet has a dedicated IP address and then various machines connected to a router) that he can also access from his laptop at home. Now I have 2 schools of thought on this, the first is to have XBMC on the machine in the office that provides an interface over a web connection. However, he also wants to have the emulation games like mine does so that would be far too slow to achieve. The second option is a hell of a lot simpler in that I'd install XBMC and required plugins on his laptop but then just connect to the drives remotely. So - how so do I go about having XBMC do that. Is it possible to make a remote drive become a recognisable drive in Windows as you would a local network drive?
Before anyone asks, yes I'm fully aware of the constraints of such a set up which I will be going into with him but we're just dealing with the theory right now. Just so I can map a general idea in my head before I make any concrete plans.
