I got several computers connected to my home wireless network and I want to make use of some of the features of Windows 7 for home networks but I can't seem to get them working:

How do I keep files and folders in sync between specific computers? I'm not talking about Live Sync.
How can I stream to Windows Media Player from another computer?

I would appreciate if someone could provide me some links / solutions that address my needs. Thanks!

To anyone who thinks this question is a duplicate and wants to close it please bare in mind the following:

I'm not looking for additional software, I know I can use Live Sync, Dropbox and so on but I'm asking this: how do I configure Windows 7 to sync files between my home network - no Internet required! This has something to do with shared folders and offline files in Windows 7, but I can't get it to work.

PS: Please merge with this question: http://superuser.com/questions/139763/networking-with-windows-7
