I fixed this problem by opening up a dos box on the PC to which the CD-ROM is attached and dismounting the drive that I was using for the CD, it seems that windows had logged this drive internally as a network drive from a previous network mount even though it knew that it is now a CD-ROM. (This is listed as a know bug for WFWG 3.1 on the Network Developers CD, I'm suprised that it was not fixed in WFWG 3.11). I am still having problems though, the PC with the CD-ROM attached can read the CD without any problems, however remote PC's which try to read the CD over WFWG get a directory list (in the file manager) which shows the second directory on the CD repeated indefinitely. It is not possible to correctly read any files on the CD.
