Abstract
A method for enabling access to resources connected to client nodes of a network is provided. The method includes establishing communication between a local client and a remote client using SCSI commands. The local client provides a remote client identification code and a connection password to the remote client over a DCOM enabled link. The communication between the local client and the remote client is established when the remote client confirms the remote client identification code and the password. The method then determines if adapters are connected to the remote client. If the method determines that adapters are connected to the remote client, a connection is established with a selected adapter and the selected adapter is then connected with the local client. The selected adapter is configured to appear on a graphical user interface (GUI) of the local client as if the selected adapter of the remote client were physically connected to the local client. Thus, a user may double click on an icon representing the selected adapter on the GUI of the local client in order to gain access to the selected adapter.
