We've used Remote Disc to access a DVD reader attached to one computer on a LAN before. Now that we're all 'work from home', we've got a VPN setup that creates peer-to-peer connections between all of our location and all normal traffic flows fine across it. However, from my computer, I can't "Remote Disc" to a DVD drive located on another users location which is connected via the VPN. Each 'location' is its own LAN. Example 192.168.2.0/24, 192.168.3.0/24, 192.168.4.0/24, etc Is there some clever way to make this work. We have a use case where the DVD burner is needed in one location, but reading the disc is required in another. As of right now when I click "Remote Disc" it only works from a computer on the LAN the DVD burner is attached to. When I click "Remote Disc" from a remote location, nothing shows up even though we're all connected via the VPN network.
