Network rendering isn't really what I'm going for (although a render farm is pretty damn cool and not out of the question). I want to sit in front of the the XP machine and tell the 98 machine to render a file that is saved on the 98's HDD using software installed on the 98 machine. The XP machine should have nothing to do with the rendering after that.

Here is an example.
1) I create a data file on the XP machine.
2) I save the data file on a HDD in the 98 machine.
3) I start software installed on 98 from the XP machine.
4) 98 machine renders away happily oblivious to the fact that it is now my bitch and I am free to do other activities on the XP machine since it is not doing work on the rendering at all.

Here is another example of a something I'd like to do. Install Norton's AV on the 98 machine and use it to scan the XP machines drives without being in front of the 98 machine.
