If using Windows '95 then - in System Properties (Control Panel), set
the Local CD-ROM drive to be a higher drive letter than the networked
drive & Networked CD-ROM drives..

i.e. Network Drive lives at F:  (Though may have parts mapped to any
drive letter..!)
Networked CD-ROM drives live at H:    Therefore set local CD-ROM to be
drive I: (if it's not already mapped..)

It works for me..

Hope this helps.

John.
