scanner
Question 1 - Scanner, No without special software
Question 2 - possibly, depends upon exactly what the programs installation routine does, a) no files in other than the "install" folder b) doesn't care about registry settings A good test is to copy the folder to another pc and see if it'll run. If it does all's probably well. If not then you'll have to at least install it on all the pc's. That said, there's nothing to stop you from installing it to the same folder on the same hard disk assuming that hard disk is shared by all the pc's. Note 1 : doing this means you also may have to contend with how the program saves settings etc. as it might be that every "copy" overwrites any other "copies" saves. Note 2 : you also will have to experiment with what happens if two or more copies are running at the same time, e.g. files may be locked etc. byt the first instance being run. All that said, why not just try it and see for yourself?

scanner
This software allows you to share a scanner across the network.
http://www.remote-scan.com/ Software such as CorelDraw must be installed on each PC with which it will be used. The installation folder (the folder which the EXE and other files are copied to) could be on a local drive or on a network drive. Usually, it is possible to have a single installation folder on a network drive and use that one installation folder for each installed copy of the software. However, some software won't work when installed like this - you should check with the manufacturer. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP W95/W98 "tunde martins" wrote in message ... 1. is it possible to share a scanner on the network (peer to peer)as we share printer on the network. if yes, explain how to configure it. 2. is it possible to share application like coreldraw on the network (peer to peer)i mean install the application on one system while the other system can open the application and make use of it. |
