Sharing ODDs

Hi

Let's say there are 3 computers connected to a LAN, PC #1 has a DVD drive, and PC #2 and #3 want to access that DVD drive. I'm currently using the default Windows sharing options and it works, the problem is I have to set the folder permissions and enable the share option every time a new DVD is loaded so I was looking for something to make that share permanent and avoid doing the config every time I insert a disc.

 

Plus I'd like to know if there's a way to burn DVDs without having to switch the drive between computers every time someone wants to burn, with free software if it's possible... and "just buy 2 other drives" isn't possible right now.

 

Thanks in advance

other solution involves sata to usb adapter.

just pass it around, no setup and faster.

burning a dvd through network will be slow as hell.
