Access Denied Error when trying to share a DVD drive

Forum Networking : General Discussion Access Denied Error when trying to share a DVD drive

Word :    Username :           
 

I recently picked up a netbook, since it doesn't have a DVD drive on it, I wanted to share the one I have on my Dell through my network. I have XP on both machines, they are both in the same workgroup, I have enabled file sharing and can access the shared docs folder on the Desktop, but when I set up the DVD drive for sharing, I get an access denied error when selecting it from the netbook. I also tried disabling any firewalls. Any thoughts?
