Hello, I have a laptop setup with windows 98 and trying
to setup to my desktop computer which is setup with
Windows XP. The Laptop is without a CD drive and I am
trying to remotely install a program from my desktop CD
driver with a link to my network. Does anyone know if it
is possible to setup what I what just mentioned without
me having to invest in a remote CD driver for an out-
dated Laptop? Any suggestions gladly appreciated!

Thank you.

if you have the cdrom on the other computer permanently mapped (so it
reconnects at boot time) then it should work ok
