[lots of advice for sharing the hardware across a network snipped] Kevin (I think was the original poster), do you actually want to share the hardware proper, or just allow people to burn safely across the network (i.e - without being left with a coaster at the end of the session)??
If you're after the latter, we use "CDWServer" at work to allow users to burn their own CD's. Its web based and easy to configure and use. I havent been left with a coaster yet, nor had a user complain about one. Cheers!
