At home I have a desktop computer that I use mostly for gaming. I have a laptop that I use for my home office work and development. I often use a Windows Remote Desktop Connection to use my laptop (that is sitting in my office) while I am in the living room where my desktop is. Today I needed to create some ISO images from CDs and burn some ISOs to disc. I didn’t want to run back and forth between my living room and my office.

Then I remembered that I had Alcohol 52% on my desktop and Alcohol 120% on my laptops.

I used Alcohol 52% to share the DVD-RW on my desktop using Alcohol iSCSI Server and my laptop is running Vista, so I used Vista’s built-in iSCSI client and mounted the drive.

Now I could use the DVD-RW drive that was physically on my desktop with Alcohol 120% running on my laptop over a Remote Desktop Connection.
