Unable to share cd drive over network

hi,
i have windows xp on my computer,i am having trouble sharing the desktop's CD drive over my network of 6 computer,it does not give problem with regular hard drives or partitions only with the CD drive.Any idea what's wrong Is there any way it can keep sharing the CD drive.

NTi has for sometime ,and Nero 6.0, do allow you to reach into other computers through the network and burn files from them.

Please right click on the CD Drive and choose Sharing and Security ..
Go through the steps ...
Provide all the computers same Work Group but different computer names. and then You can share the CD Drive.
This is how u do sharing ...

Just a couple of simple things for you to check.

Go into folder options in control panel and make sure you have SIMPLE FILE SHARING DISABLED. For a start.

Then goto to the sharing and security option on your CD Drive. Select SHARED AS then PERMISSIONS then ADD then ADVANCED and FIND NOW hopefully this will display a list of users you can grant permission to.

Try turning off password protected sharing, see if that helps.
