I configured the CD writer and DVD/CD rom to be shared in workgroup on my

Can someone advise the possible causes and fixes.

When you share a CD or DVD writer over a network, it's shared as a
read-only device, even if you've specified write access. It isn't
possible to write to it from another computer. An Ethernet network
connection can't supply data fast enough to support CD or DVD burning.
