Need help sharing DVD drive
Hello...
I have netbook running Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit and a laptop running Vista Home Premium 64bit. The laptop has a DVD drive I would like to share on my wireless network to install software on the netbook. Sharing files and folders have not been a problem, but I can't access the DVD drive from the netbook. I've shared the DVD drive on the laptop and given it full control permission to everyone (only two computers on my home network). The drive shows up on the netbook but when I try to access it I get the error message "Windows cannot access (drive name) You do not have permission to access (drive name). Contact your network administrator to request access." I've rebooted and shutdown a couple of times on both machines and it's still not working. What am I missing? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
