can a dvd drive be shared on a wireless network?

Question

I have a sony external dvd writer hooked to another computer in the house which is on a wireless network. Can i use it from a remote computer?

Answer 1

Yes, as long as the drive is shared on the owning computer, others on that same network can access it...

Be sure to share the whole drive- at my computer, right click on sharing and share it. If you share something inside the drive- like go into the drive and read the disk, only that will be shared, and when you change disks, it will not be shared...

Answer 2

Yes, on the computer that it is connected set the sharing to ON for that drive.
