NetBEUI has nothing to do with the problem.
A CD drive that's shared over a network is treated like a read-only
folder. It isn't possible to write directly to it from another
computer.
Even if you could share it, the network might not be able to deliver
data fast enough to burn a CD successfully.
Run remote control software so that you can control the XP computer
directly from the Win98 computer. If you have XP Professional, use
its built-in Remote Desktop feature. Otherwise, you can use something
like VNC:

I have a new small laptop with no CD drive. Would like ta access another laptop's CD to load prorams, not writ to CD, but network message is "D is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this resource." I have tried to make the drve available with no restrictions. Both computers are Windows XP. I was told it can be done. HOW??? Thanks.

Run the Network Setup Wizard on both computers to fully enable file
and printer sharing, being careful to specify the right connection
option. That's usually all that's necessary.
If that doesn't solve the problem, try these tips:
1. Permanently disable XP's built-in Internet Connection Firewall on
local area network connections -- it's for use only on a direct modem
connection to the Internet. Disable and un-install all other firewall
programs while troubleshooting. When un-installing a firewall
program, use the un-install procedure provided by the manufacturer .
Don't use Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs, which might not
completely un-install it.
2. Use only one protocol for File and Printer Sharing. If the network
needs more than one protocol, unbind File and Printer Sharing from all
but one of them. Details here:
4. Run "ipconfig /all" on XP and look at the "Node Type" at the
beginning of the output. If it says "Peer-to-Peer" (which should
actually be "Point-to-Point") that's the problem. It means that the
computer only uses a WINS server, which isn't available on a
peer-to-peer network for NetBIOS name resolution.
If that's the case, run the registry editor, open this key:
HLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netbt\Parame ters
and delete these values if they're present:
NodeType
DhcpNodeType
Reboot, then try network access again.
If that doesn't fix it, open that registry key again, create a DWORD
value called "NodeType", and set it to 1 for "Broadcast" or 4 for
"Mixed".
For details, see these Microsoft Knowledge Base articles:
