    About a year ago, I set up the DVD drive on my desktop as a shared drive on my home network. DW's netbook doesn't have a disk drive.

    Somehow, that capability has been lost and I can't remember how I originally got it to work.

    Any help gratefully accepted.

    System is an eMachines T3256 with a CD and a DVD drive. Second box is an ASUS netbook. Both are running Win XP, SP3. I have a an in-house wireless network.

    Sorry I left that open. I'd lost track of it. My mistake was expecting to see a shared drive on the desktop box list of drives. When I went on DW's netbook, it was there.

    Mea Culpa.
