Uhhmmm... I haven't heard of anything like a remote CD-ROM. I've shared my Linux box CD-ROM as a normal directory and never have had problems with it. The section of my /etc/smb.conf that shares the CD-ROM is:
[cdrom] comment = Zeus's CD-ROM writable = no locking = no path = /cdrom and I mount my CD-ROM with "mount /dev/scd0 /cdrom". I hope this helps.
