[Samba] question regarding sharing hardware

[dhiman das]

thanks very much for the reply.
however my question was not about some quick shortcuts.
i wanted to know how come i can access the internet connection(on the linux 
client) through a telephone modem (on the windows machine)but not tv 
transmission through the (tv tuner) video card (on the windows machine).
both of them are hardware sitting on the same motherboard !!
i will also appreciate if some one can direct me to reference 
materials(books/journal articles, or websites) which might enlighten me in 
anyway.
thanks once again
