I am trying to burn from a CD on one computer to a burner on the other. The computers are peer to peer networked with windows 98se. I am using the standard Adaptec burning software and I tried using CDR-WIN and Nero. I am willing to try any burning software. All of the software I used is trying to autodetect my drives and since they are mapped network drives, none of the programs recognize the mapped drive as a CDR drive. Any suggestions?

Think you are going to strike out on this one. Burner requires a more steady data stream than the network will provide. Ed Fair

I concur with the advice given - most burners require a minimum of 300Kb/sec. Newer ones require even more. You won't get that over a network, unless you have a gigabit backbone all to yourself.
I've got a 10mbit network, and I can burn from any HD on the network, using NETBEUI.
I just open Adaptec, select the computer/drive/folder within Adaptec via Network neighborhood.
Works fine at 4x. Any faster and there's problems. Cheers,

Do you just use NetBEUI, Jim? Is this on a busy coporate or just your home network?
I've never got this to work - I always assumed it was the network!
Looks like I need to get "up to speed"

Home LAN, 3 machines.
TCP/IP for internet via DHCP.
NetBeui only for the LAN (unbound from the 'net).
Mind you, the client machine (with the MP3's on it) must not be doing anything else (well, maybe a game of solitaire), but not using the NIC in any way (surfing, email), and it just won't burn any faster than 4x from the LAN, and actually better at 2x, but it works.
I find it easier to just transfer the files from the client to the host and burn. Quicker too. Cheers,

I have a CDRW on my machine with kid's PC's networked to mine via 10mb coaxial. Using DirectCD I drag n' drop their essential stuff to burner which copies at normal speed. I haven't tried burning across the network directly though would imagine might be OK at low speed.
Hope this helps........
