HI friend,

In Win XP, you need no software to share your scanner. open My Computer. Then Open Tools menu -> Folder options -> View. Then Uncheck the last line (Use simple file sharing) under 'advance settings.

Now open 'Printers and Faxes' And right-click scanner, click 'sharing'.

then check 'Share this scanner'

Done.

right click on the folder your scanner software resides and select sharing. now configure it to grant access to the other computer.



now go to the other computer and map the network drive by right clicking on my computer and select map network drive. now select any letter that shows and map it by selecting browse and finding the main computer that is shared.
