May I add a comment? I am encountering the same problem trying to access Nautilus on a shared CDROM drive on a Novell Network. I also have a CDROM in my workstation on which I can run Nautilus just fine. Howevever, when I try to run it thru the network, Nautilus complains that my networked CDROM, mapped to a drive such as L, is not a valid CDROM drive. It appears that Nautilus checks for an actual internal drive before it allows the application to start. Is there any way of getting around the check. For example, is there a way of telling the MS Multimedia extensions MSCDEX that drive L is a valid CDROM drive, thereby satisfying Nautilus.
