Is there a way to share an external USB 2.0 HDD over a LAN? It would make things quite a bit easier to create True Image backups on the other PC if this could be done instead of unplugging it, carrying it downstairs, plugging it in, etc.

I have found that networking directly to an external USB HD over a LAN was quite a bit slower then accessing the networked computer directly.
So it may end up being quicker to copy (or save) the image to a networked computer & then copy (or move) that image to the attached USB HD on that computer.
Two steps, but it may end up being much quicker (& worth verifying that that is the case for you also - or not).

Just direct write, to or from the usb drive - got a couple of 200GB drives in USB/Fire-wire cases and I just move them about where ever I need them (hot swap)
