Accessing iso files over a network

A.N.Other · 10 Sep 2006 at 00:53

I have a few (large - 7+ Gb) iso files that I need to access over a netork. Normally, I use a virtual CD Rom app supplied by Microsoft to do this, but it fails to load the files over a network. Can anyone suggest a different app that will be able to stream these over a 54 Mbps wireless network so that I can read them? I know that there is no problem streaming these files over the network, as they can be accessed on my MacBook Pro - it's just the Windows app that falls over

.

Many thanks

I've used poweriso in the past and it's worked for me.

Just share the virtual drive and then mount the image....you should be able to access it through the network

That program works like a charm. Thanks for the quick answer

Mount them using deamon tools and share the cd drive over the network, it will be accessed at similar speed to as it was a folder.

I was trying to get the file to mount on the computer I'm using, rather than sharing a virtual drive on the host PC. There are quite a few files, so I don't particularly want to be having loads of virtual drives on the host PC.

Anyway, PowerISO is able to mount the shared files on the PC I'm using, so that's all I wanted.
