This is a FAQ - please search the archives before posting a question.
Eclipse workspaces are not designed to be shared between multiple 
machines. The projects are, but workspaces are specific to a particular 
machine.
You can use File > Export to export projects and/or Preferences and then 
import those on another Eclipse installation. Better yet, use a SCM tool 
like CVS or Subversion.

Hope this helps,
