How can I make my computer DLNA compatible?

Divit asks:

What kind of hardware do I need in my PC to get it DLNA compatible? Do I need a wireless adapter/card? Anything else that I need?



This question has been resolved. You may still add an answer if you think you can add something to the discussion though.

    Hello, if you computer has media center installed or it is a media center computer, it is DNLA compatible.  This applies to XP media center edition and up.  If not, you could install a DNLA server in it and you should be ready to go.

    You don’t need any special hardware; Windows 7 is fully DLNA compatible. Here’s an official Microsoft guide to using its media-streaming features:
