Desktop XP hardwired, laptop Win2000 wireless...sharing
high speed access and I can obtain access to shared
folders, printers, etc , etc...How can I share devices?
Is it possible to share the webcam or my scanner on my
desktop USB from my laptop? I have read everything I
could find and I have not found an answer

Thank you

Windows XP and 2000 don't have the built-in capability to share
webcams or scanners. You'd have to get software from another source
to do that.

Any suggestions on a good program to use for this? I
could use Netmeeting and remote desktop, but I am looking
for a better way, more like folder sharing


Thanks
