i have a network at my house through my router. I am sharing all my files and
folders and those are working perfect but when i try to share my cd writer,
then it i can only be accessed on the other computers as a folder, it is not
viewed as a drive and therefore it is not possible to create cd's from the
other computer. Is there any way of sharing the cd writer as a drive so it
can be written to from other computers?
 
I have read here in this forum , that there are problems,one is supported
speeds,
two , maybe a copyright program blocks it, search in this forum for sharing
cd writer.

The CDR can be shared as a read-only device (that may appear as a
folder, as is normal for shared drives), but you would not be able to
burn CDs from the remote computers unless you've installed some
CD-burning application specifically designed to take advantage of a
remote CD burner. To date, I've never heard of anyone that provides
such an application, but perhaps someone else has.

That looks like it might work, provided there's some sort of 3rd
party CD burning software installed on each machine, and the CD/DVD
burner is on a "SCSI-like" bus.
