Default CD writer and DVD/CD rom can't be shared in workgroup

Thanx, Anton, for backing me up. You never know until you try it, and again,
what a superb product you put out! Thanx for not milking us little people!

100 megabits are definitely enough for 52X CD burning. Learn math in
elementary school? Can multiply 150 and 52? I'll tell ya big secret,
even for 8X DVD burning it's still enough!

StarWind and StarPort and free for non-commercial use (we make enough
cash from big companies so are not greedy to take your last $20 you
mother gave you so you could buy a cheeseburger for your lunch).

No excuses for you, dude. Get your free lunch and go home. Prepare
your homework

P.S. Only idiots can blame free software with support, right?

What a nonsense! Using modern GbE network hardware with throughoutput
of 125 MB/sec (OK, 117 MB/sec in single direction in practice)


doubt that this user has this kind of network hardware.

most of us don't, we're still on 10/100BT.


is
capable of handling even 22 MB/sec of 16X DVD burning speed with
absolutely no problem! And all of the devices manufactures during last
2-3 years have buffer underrung hardware preventing them from
producing "coasters" if for some reason data stream would be lost (in
your particular case network utilization would jump unexpected).

Somebody in this group has already mentioned our iSCSI target and
initiator software allowing to share storage devices AS IS (when iSCSI
target does NOT intrude into bypassing SCSI traffic eliminating
hardware virtualization layer all other iSCSI targets usually add),
including tape drives and CD/DVD burners. I've never heard any
complains about buffer underruns caused with network burns for years.


Oh, I see why you're so ticked!

You have a software solution FOR SALE.

Excuuuuussee meeee!!!!!!

I think the OP just wants to know WHY he can't
do it with the burning support BUILT-IN to XP.


With your approach "stay away from..." I'd recommend you stay aways
from IT yourself. People following your advices would find themself in
the middle of nowhere. I guess (according to your e-mail) this is the
place where you came from


Whatever. Irrelevant. Goodbye.

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

workgroup
on my
desktop running Windows XP Pro. All the users in workgroup can

see
the
drives but not allow to access. I have given the write access

to
everyone
Can someone advise the possible causes and fixes.

Thanks,

Ray

Sharing a CD/DVD-RW over a network, even with third-party
software, is a bad idea.

you WILL produce coasters, as you CANNOT guarantee
that throughput over the network will be able to keep
up with the write speed of the drive.

it may seem like you can do it, as it's possible that the
network will be lightly loaded and you can keep up, but
the next time you try it may fail...

Think of it this way:

say you're writing stuff to the CD/RW on a networked
machine, all is well.

Then, 8 other users on your network simultaneously access files
on that same machine.

BOOM-network data throughput is suddenly split 9 ways
and you've just made a coaster...
