7.4 Limitations
There are some limitations to use the NetUSB technology.
A. Only supports Windows 2000/XP/2003. Windows 98/ME is not supported.
B. Only one PC can get the ownership of the same USB device at the same time.
Moreover, once a USB device is “connected” by a PC so that the PC “owns”
that USB device, other PCs can not “access” this USB device by any means.
For example, if a printer is connected by a PC using the NetUSB technology,
no other PCs can print to this printer by LPR or SMB or IPP protocols, until the
printer is disconnected.
C. For USB storage, although NTFS can be supported by the NetUSB technology,
it can not be shared among network users.
