ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method for devices to be remotely accessed over a network. A remote device drive is coupled to a bus device driver at a network client. The remote device driver communicates to a remote bus proxy to a driver service in the server domain. A device manager provides responsibility for discovering services on network clients, enabling driver services to use the devices, notifying other driver services of the availability of devices, notifying clients of the permission to use a device by a service, and tracking connected devices.
