Home Network.
I just networked my two computers and all I can do is share the printers and
share files and the internet. I was told that I could also share programs from one computer to the other without actually installing the program on both computers. Is it possible to do this or have I been given bad information? Can anybody help me? -- Thank you have a great day and God Bless. =?Utf-8?B?Q2hyaXN0ZW4=?= |

Re: Home Network.
it may work with some simple programs. but if the program installs any
components on the machine it probably won't work since the networked machine won't know where to find the other machine's components.

You can only share programs if the program is designed as a network program (msword, excel, and most are not designed as network programs). Sometimes a simple program that does not install additional components or registry entries can be shared ocross the network. BobC |

Re: Home Network.
Thanks Dave and Bob for your answers. It is kind of strange that I have two
brothers-in-law one named Dave and the other one is Bob. Anyway thanks for answering my question. -- Thank you, have a great day and God Bless.
