Is it possible to use my laptops DVD-rom for my computer on the same network?

Ya, ya, i know i need to get a dvdrom..

I want to install a game on a dvd to my pc that has no dvdrom. I was hoping someone had some suggestions.

For you folks that think I would be doing bad things:
I bought the "Step into liquid" dvd from best buy, it has a second disk (DVD) that has a free copy of "kelly slater's pro surfer", i was hoping to play that on my pc.

Did you try mapping the drive? Make sure the two computers are networked and then just share the drive and map it on the other comp

So mapping the drive would let me be able to install a full pc game (dunno if its a demo or not)? I will try this after work tonight.

Right. It's as if the drive was on your computer. You're basically sharing the device.
