Software to act as a usb lan hub?

[everphilski]

Is there a way to turn a Pogoplug into a usb lan hub, like this:

http://www.startech.com/Networking-IO/USB-PS2/4-Port-USB-over-IP-Network-Hub-Adapter-USB-Ethernet-Device-Server~USB4000IP
...
I tried using usbip and the server end looks fine but the window client gives me the following error:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
C:\Users\default.HAHN\Desktop\usbip>usbip -l 192.168.1.100
- 192.168.1.100
usbip err: usbip_network.c: 121 (usbip_recv_op_common) recv op_common, -1
usbip err: usbip.c: 216 (query_exported_devices) recv op_common
usbip err: usbip.c: 288 (show_exported_devices) query
')

Are there other solutions available? Or does someone know enough about usbip to be of help? Doesn't look like the project has been updated in 2+ years.

(Crux of the issue is I want to be able to forward a printer/scanner to Windows machines as there is no ARM build of the scanner software)

thanks
