We have four XP Pro machines connected on a peer to peer network and just
bought a Pioneer DVD 105 so we can use DVD rewrites to backup our data. Can
we share the Pioneer among all four computers and if so, please tell me what
to do. Thanks a lot!
 
Make sure you have file and printer sharing enabled and
then just go to the computer that has the dvd writer
installed, right click and select sharing. You will get
a message that says "sharing the root directory is not
recommended" but go ahead and allow everyone access since
you are on peer to peer. The you just need to map a
drive on the other pc's and you should be fine.

Good Luck,

Jim
