There's an Old dell at my place lying around its like an 05 - but it's just been sitting there for the past 8 years. I still runs but the OS has crashed and we can no longer find the drivers for it.
So now my father decided to turn it into a home server (if at all possible, which should be) because he travels a lot (and often leaves country)
Well he wants to be able to watch TV from the tablet (which I seen,from him simply connecting to the home network) and believes the server to be a means to help him.
(some country's dont have directTV, that's the problem)
I can set it up to be a server to add info to, but I do not know anyway of have he could connect to the home network from across country in order to stream live tv and there is were I need help.
