Remote Access of CDROM (?)

Hi,

I have two Linux machines running, one of them is quite old and the cdrom
drive just plunked out. The other Linux machine is farily new, and both are
operational.

Question:
How would I access the cdrom drive of the newer machine while logged into
the older one? I've tried nfs witout success.

newer machine exports entry:
/media/cdrom/ 192.168.0.49()

older machine fstab entry:
192.168.0.50:/media/cdrom /cdrom2 auto defaults 0 0

Any ideas will be appreciated...

is the cdrom mountet on the newer?
Do other exports work?

The cdrom is mounted in the newer machine, and yes, all other exports do
work.

Problem solved. I found a good document here:

Thanks to The Linux Documentation Project.
