USB over network?

[Pawel Kowalski]

I spent some time searching google for this but don't seem to be finding any thing worth while. Does anyone know how to set up a USB port over an ethernet connection? When I plug in my iPod at work I would like a way to have it connect to my itunes library at home (I have a VPN set up between the 2 networks) so I don't have to have 2 different libraries which becomes a mess. If anyone knows of a program (hopefully free) that would be great.

Have you thought about portable itunes?

Thanks Nick. But my problem isn't really getting iTunes, I have that installed at work. My problem is that with this set up I have to have 2 different music libraries. With 6,000+ songs this isn't very practical. And with 30+GB of music I wouldn't be able to fit it on a jump drive and don't really want to carry a large USB drive back and forth.

USB Anywhere is a great solution that works over the network. It can even handle dongles. I use it at work in the office.

Yeah, it is not the cheapest product. I would check Amazon or a couple of other places. There are similiar tools out there. I just picked the one I worked with.

I was hoping there would be a software solution, looks like I'm probably dreaming. Thanks anyway.
