Please give details on how he would setup this new machine on the LAN so that it can be easily accessed by all, and they can copy across media to their machines for viewing with ease from over the network. What additional equipment would he need to complete his task? What special software if any would he need to achieve success? What special hardware if any would be needed by the new machine to make the project a reality? Take these things into consideration when giving him an answer.
