Re^4: CD-rom read

All the computers are connected as we are in the same domain and the cdrom resides in one of the system and i am acessing that system using net use for connection establishment. The connection is established but some how the cd rom drive is not treated as other disk drives which are acssible

If you open a command line window, are you able to access this drive? Maybe do a 'dir' command? If you can, then Perl can do also. If you can't do that, then it is unlikely that Perl can do it.	[reply]

The net use method works fine for me. Sounds like a problem unrelated to Perl.	[reply]

Net use works fine for me also . But can you net use to a cd-rom drive on any system other than your own ?	[reply]

Perhaps I should have been more specific, the net use method of gaining access to a CDROM on a remote computer on the same domain works for me, at least the last time I had to do this a few months ago. Perhaps you're experiencing some restriction, consult your sysadmin.	[reply]

The connection is established but some how the cd rom drive is not treated as other disk drives which are acssible So its the problem exists outside of perl?	[reply]
