Hi,

Can anyone explainn how you share a CD-DVD drive over a
network. I tried by right clicking the drive and allowing
sharing but that allows you to access it as a flder not
as an actual drive so you can't run DVD's etc. Is there
anyway you can set it up so as you can run DVDs and it
can act as a seperate dive so you could copy a CD from
one drive on another computer to a blank CD in another
drive?

Thanks in advance for any help

Do you want to share the DVD drive so that you can watch a video
program on another computer on the network? I'm sorry, but Windows XP
can't do that.
