Can't share dvd drive between computers - no permission

Trying to share a dvd drive from one computer on my network to my netbook. I see the device and fixed the permissions to allow everyone but I still can't access it. I get the message "Windows cannot access (drive name) You do not have permission to access (drive name). Contact your network administrator to request access." Can anyone help me. I've rebooted several times and checked everything.
 
You may also have to fix permissions in both machines. BTW - what OS?
 
Using Win 7 on the main computer and starter on the netbook. I shared the device and set the secuity permissions on the main computer. How do you set permissions on both machines when the device is located on the other?
 
Allowing "Every One" means every one that is on the allowed list, not every one that happen to log in.

If you do not care about the logging security, switch On the guest account on the computer with the DVD, and add it to the permitted Read/Write users.

In general.

Win7 when configured on peer-to-peer Network Win 7 has three types of Sharing configurations.

HomeGroup Network = Works only between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration makes it very easy to Entry Level Users to start Network sharing.

Work Network = Basically similar to the previous methods of sharing that let you control what, how, and to whom folders would be shared with.

Public Sharing = Public Network (like Internet cafe) to reduce security risks.

The Work Network is the one that most of us are going (and need) to use.

Win 7 Work Network's Sharing settings are in principle similar to Vista's configuration, some menus locations in Win 7 might be in different place, and look a little different, if One is familiar with Vista it is very easy to adapt to Win7.

Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall On, Vista/XP Native Firewall should be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party Firewall instructions.
