With a Win 2K OS on both boxes...
During a recient Fry's ad, I decided to take advantage of an inventory shortfall of boxed Athlon XP1700+ processors at Fry's Electronics, and bought their MOBO/CPU combo with a boxed 1800+ for $10 more. They were substituting. Anyway, now I have another box that runs similar to my main one, except for the memory (PC133-384MB L2 vs. 512MB DDR 2100 L2.5). I love the ECS SiS 100mbs onboard LAN and I connected the two boxes no problem. Now I'm finally discovering the world of shared resources!!! I can print on one printer from both machines, and I can access the internet from one machine using ICS through the other. Box 1 has the onboard LAN NIC, the other has the onboard, and a 3COM that is connected to a hub, then to the cable modem. ALL WORKS WELL!
Now, I moved my IEEE 1394 firewire card to the 2nd box and I was hoping to access it with software running on box 1. Is that possible? And how? I am able to run apps (from box 2) that reside on box 1, so I know I'm doing something right.
Any help would be a big... well... HELP!
THANKS!
