Hi
I have a CD-RW drive on my computer in a local network peer-to-peer.
Is it possible to share this CD-RW drive and the others, with their computer can burn CD-RW on my drive? Windows 98,Windows NT4 or Windows 2000.
Till now the others can only read on my drive.
Thanks
whoo

Nope, but even if you could it would be a bad idea because you would probably end up with a stack of coasters a mile high.

If you use RWs as packet writing you can format them and share the drive, otherwise there would be no good reason to share it because the LAN's bandwidth is smaller than a drive controller. Alternativly you can make disc images on other computers, send them over the network to the computer with the burner, then burn them from there
