How can i use my CD-Rom drive on my laptop to install stuff on my desktop? My computers are set up on a wireless network and i have set the CD-Rom drive on the laptop to be shared on the network but when i try to install games on the desktop i cant seem to get it to work. Any ideas or hints would be great. And just for the SA's out there the CD-rom drive on teh desktop doesnt work or of course i would use it.
