Hardware Sharing

[jamie7823]

Is there anyway you can share hardware over a network. Like if i wanted to play a song that is on this computer through my speakers on my other computer? Keep in mind that i wast to have everything controlled from the pc im on. This is an example to what i want to do. Before long i would like to share other pieces of hardware. If this isnt possible I will drop the project now.

You can use remote assistance built into WinXP or use RealVNC.

you can share the music files and play the on the other PC... or you can just remote desktop like ^^ suggested.

Or you could just create a network and share the files. (will play from other computer.)

the question i guess i really needed to ask is does hardware have an address that can be accessed from a local computer? Kind of like a printer. Can all devices be shared the same as a printer without using 3rd party programs?

Printers,Fax,Scanners,CD/DVD Drives and Hard drives and folders can all be shared but nothing else. Unless u consider Remote Desktop as sharing everything
