I have a network of 6 PCs using Win XP Pro. I have set up a Fax Printer (using Win XP Fax)on the PC with the modem and can fax from this PC. Is there any way to share this fax printer so that other PCs in the network can use this modem to send a fax. (ICS works fine)

FAX printer behaves like a regular printer and can be shared as a printer. Once you shared your fax off one host machine, you can install the shared fax one other PCs using net use command, like "net use shared_fax_name \\hosting_machine_name\share_name /persistent:yes"

When a fax printer is installed in XP and I click on the sharing tab, it says that this device does not allow sharing. I want to know if there is a way around this.

Win XP Pro does not allow its fax service to be shared. They must be used on the local computer.
