Sharing DVD drive between XP and Vista
I am trying to share the DVD-RW drive on my Vista machine with my other XP machine. The sharing is happening fine (using advanced sharing in Vista), but my XP machine doesn't seem to understand that the shared drive is a DVD drive. Hence, I am unable to play a DVD or write out a DVD. Can someone help? -- namit

Sharing DVD drive between XP and Vista
Hi
You can Not write a DVD from one computer to the other through the Sharing system, the writing software usually do not allow it. You can do it if you are using remote control program rather the the sharing file system. Jack (MS, MVP-Networking) "namit" wrote in message ...
