I believe that CD/DVD sharing only allows users with Macbook Air's to use it. (Since they are the only Macs without CD/DVD drives).

Does the netbook have a FW 400 port?

Does your MacBook have one too?

(The netbook's FW will probabally look like this

The MB's FW will look like this:

Buy a FW 4 pin to 6 Pin cable if the ports look like this.

Your easiest course of action would probably be making an image of the disc on your mac to mount to a flash drive. Then you can put that into your netbook and it should be able to run its course as the optical disc would.

Go into Sharing in your System Preferences and share your mounted CD Drive and then mount the share in Windows
