The drive can only be accessed over the network as a CDROM drive.  The
software isn't capable of writing from a remote station and for good reason -
the network bandwidth isn't guaranteed to be sufficient to prevent buffer
underruns.  You can use it to write CDs of networked files but you'd be
well-advised to NOT write directly to the CD.  Use of the ISO image would
prevent network latency to be an issue...
