cd rom gameplay over ethernet?

you mean with WHDLoad? maybe.. try smbfs.
IIRC, many say you need to shutdown TCP for it to work, but I had not seen any problems with AmiTCP+Whdload.

BTW, I successfully ran 'Rogger Rabbit' from PC HDD on A500 networked with PC2Amiga. but it was sloooow, and its probably 'system friendly' game.

I have just tested it and it works great with smbfs!

of course its a bit slower than HDD.
I used the PRELOAD option, just in case.

The games that work: SuperCars 2 (JST), Superfrog (WhdLoad), Arkanoid2 (WhdLoad)

there are some minor problems, I couldn't get icon on workbench for smbfs drive (I think there is an option for this) and the files cant have executable flag set.
