i know this isn't the most amazing of tips but if you have a USB Camera, MP3 player or USB Storage device it can be shared over a network like a drive and then its contents can be accessed by you or anyone you wish from anywhere on the LAN.

I presume you can do this by normal file sharing options in Windows XP or 2003?

Yeah, I have noticed my PNY 512meg jumpdrive was shareable. I have it shared, but havent found a use for it yet, since its so easy to unplug it and take it with me to every machine.

Same here, but its a nice thing to play with.

I do know you can share Nero Express and Office 97 (maybe 2000 as well) over a lan to run from multiple computers :)

Oh and Alcohol 120% and Adobe Acrobat Reader and Winrar and Winzip too :(
