I have a problem not being able to share my SCSI CD ROM under WFWG. When
I try to share the drive on the machine, I get a STOP message saying I 
can only share devices on my machine. But it *is* on my machine.

I've ensured there's an /S in the MSCDEX line in AUTOEXEC, and the drive
works fine on the machine itself.

System = Compaq 386/20, Compaq DOS 5, Windows for WorkGroups 3.11

Hi,  I have seen something similar, where the CD-ROm could only be shared if there was a CD in
the drive when Win311 was loaded.

Hope this helps
Ian..
