Right click the DVD drive on the laptop and click sharing and security.

Click "If you understand the risk, but still want to share the root of a drive, click here"

Under network sharing and security, tick the box "Share this folder on the network"

Click okay.

Now on the desktop type in run \\whateveryourcomputernameis\whateverthesharenameis
and it will open the DVD drive on the laptop.

You can also do this on your hard drive to share documents, music or whatever.

Regards

Toshiba laptop lan problem

i dont understand does appear when connecting rj45 wire on lan ??

if you mean you cant see your cd drive on your computer

Click start control panel administration tools computer management device manager scroll down cd-dvd rom drives you might see a yellow question /exclamation mark ? ! or a red X right click to update driver

you might have to physically unplug the leads for this cd/dvd restart your computer then plug them back this should activate the found new hardware wizard

if this does not fix the problem it might be a registry problem if you cant see your disk drive in windows explorer


Close all open programs

Click on Start, Run, and type regedit and press Enter
Click on the plus signs (+) next to the following folders

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

SYSTEM

CurrentControlSet

Control

Class

{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

This folder is the DVD/CD-ROM Drive Class Description in the registry. Look for any of the following names in the right hand column.

Upper Filters

Lower Filters

Upper Filters.bak

Lower Filters.bak

If any of the above keys shown in step 4 are listed, right-click on them and choose Delete

After deleting the keys, close the registry editor
Reboot your computer

Open My Computer and check to see if your CD or DVD drives have returned. You may also want to open Device Manager and verify that the yellow exclamation and error code on the CD or DVD drive is gone.


hope this helps

My computer says check cable connection PXE-MOF:exitiing intel PXE ROM. no bootable device--insert boot disk and press any key. What does it mean, and how do i fix this?

Check your bios and make sure that your boot from lan is disabled, and check the boot order. Make sure that your CD rom is first, then your hard drive, then boot from lan. Boot from lan needs to be one of the lasts you use if you use your laptop for personal use.

Also make sure any USB devices, like flash storage or external hard drives are disconnected from the computer.
