Win2K Server FAX Sharing

[Ulfwald]

Is there any way I can share out my fax on my W2K Server?

Bump, Anyone know how to enable the sharing of the FAX that is listed in the printers of W2K?

theres a MS fax service included on the SBS cd's.... I know it doesn't help you, but... just an fyi.

also, I dont think U can share out the one you have.

I had the same situation a while back with a win2k fax service. Basically, even microsoft knows it doesn't work. Sharing it like a printer just comes up with errors on the client side usually. About the only way to really do this, that I know of, is finding a 3rd party fax software package that can handle it. Sadly, even after hours of googling that's the best I have been able to find.

There is, but it only works on SBS2000. You can try installing it on a stand alone version on Windows 2000, but it'll give you a nice error message.

You'll most likely have to use a third party product; personally I'd recommend GFI FaxMaker.

winfax from symantec has a sharing capability. You need to install the program on both computers and set one installation to be the fax host. The client workstations are set to use the modem in the host instead of their own.
