networking + burning question

[rogain69]

I have a 2 pc network at home. My host machine has my pioneer a03 dvd burner. It also is the source for internet sharing. My question is if i do some surfing from my client while the host is burning a dvd would it cause any problems. I could but my burner in the client machine but that would be to easy, i like doing things the hard way!

In theory no, but this is a matter of some debate/personal perference. I don't like to do anything with my PC while burning discs (CD or DVD) others do and have no problems.

ive been playing it safe and not surfing while burning, guess i should just put the burner in the client. that way i wont have to worry about it. thanks

i think the real question is how much faith do you have in your computer or how strong is your computer i always have atleast 5 other progsthat i am working with while i am burning and i have a shitty 500mhz p3 pioneer a05 never made a coaster, but it depends on a lot settings and and even what ide ribbons all your drivesare hooked up to
