How do I share a CD-Rom or DVD player?

[Tom Edelinski]

I have a Compact Presario laptop and an HP Pavilion
networked, both running XP Home. I can share files, folder
and printers, but I can't get access to the CD/DVD drives
on the Pavilion from my laptop. I have set them
to "shared" and properties shows they are shared, but I
can't access them. Any ideas?

(I also have DSL access from both computers through a D-
Link router, so I know the "work group" is connected
properly.)

Right click on the drive, under sharing, enable it.
