you could log in via SSH

Code:

man ssh

then mount the drive

Code:

man mount

then cd to the mount point

Code:

man cd

May be a simpler answer, this is simple except needing to run SSH service on the host

Follow what ethics has said. A oneliner for all is,

ssh username@localhost mount /cdrom ; ls -l /cdrom/

Not enough information provided.
What OS is running on the PC that you want to share the CD drive?
What OS are the other computers on the network running?
What do you really mean by view contents?

Michaelk was right, i assumed it was Linux

but since it is, follow my post above, it gives you distinct steps, well, before the 3 steps google setting up SSH
