Sharing CD-Writer

[oops4me]

i am working in network. on server CD-Writer(Samsung, internal) is attached. Can it is possible to share the cd-writer, so that i can burn the cd using nero burning s/w from my pc. if possible please tell me the procedure.

Have never proven it can't be done but doubt that it can be because of the need of nero to write tracks at a speed higher than the network can transfer.
Try it. All you can do is get a buffer underrun and clog the network.

It is possible, yes, but you should select a slower burn speed such as 4x or 8x. The buffer underrun protection (burnproof) that most writers have should prevent a slow network from causing problems.

I haven't tried this since older versions of Nero and Adaptec (before Roxio) were out there, but I would assume you can still do it.
