Sharing a CD-RW over network - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I'd like to share my CD-RW drive over my home network, is this possible? I can share my DVD drive, but the sharing and security option doesn't appear when I right click on the CD-RW drive.

Doubt this helps, but I tried this tonight and couldn't get it to work either. It may not be possible.

You can't burn from an app running on the client computer, what you can do is login through remote desktop and initiate the burning software on the machine with the CD burner, but you can probably only use data that has already been transferred to the machine with the CD burner. Sorry if this isn't clear, but I'm tired.

As kel says, I can access data that is already on the CD. But you cant burn a CD from another PC, unless you use remote desktop.

dont bother its not worth it, youll get so many buffer underruns it will take longer to do it over the net then to send the files and burn from the other computer.

On a 100base network with NFS, I used to remotely burn CDs all the time. I dunno if you can do this effectively with Windows though.
