Sharing CD Rom Write drives on XP Wireless Network

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

Hi

Yeah it is possible. Wireless is just a replacement to a Wire.

I.e. what ever you can do with Wire in principle can be done by Wireless.

However Wireless is slower and less stable than Wired connection.

So for casual backup of few Files it is OK. I personally would count on a
whole drive backup through Wireless but YMMV.

Hi
Enable it for sharing and Map it.
For info about Mapping a Drive.
Log to Windows native help and type mapping into the search.
