Thanks for trying to help me! > > Jim Tanis First you have to choose a folder where you want to mount it. For instance, let's call it "samba_folder" Start a terminal, type : Code: sudo mkdir /mnt/samba_folder To prepare the future folder where you will find the files. We make a copy of the file "/etc/fstab" before playing with it : Code: sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.old Then edit as root the file "/etc/fstab" Code: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab You will see some line looking like this : Code: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # /dev/sda3 UUID=b6084658 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 # /dev/sda1 UUID=86BAAFD /media/sda1 ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 # /dev/sda2 UUID=9f206381 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0 Don't play with them or your computer might not be able to mount all your partitions ;) After the last line, add a new one and put this : Code: //xxxx/yyyy /mnt/samba_folder smb defaults 0 0 And replace xxxx and yyyy by the name of the computer and the name of the folder respectively and /mnt/samba_folder by the folder you have created at the beginning. Then restart your computer, run winecfg and add a drive pointing to the /mnt/samba_folder (or whatever you have called it) If you have a problem at restart and/or have destroyed your /etc/fstab file, just do : sudo mv /etc/fstab.old /etc/fstab And restart. There might be some graphical tools to do it for you but I don't know any. Also your computer might become slower at boot as it will connect to your samba folder at that time. If you want to mount it without playing with /etc/fstab, without restarting, ... but you will have to do it after each computer reboot. Google for smbmount and you will find how. I'll not write a complete tutorial on every single way to mount a samba folder, just putting the most "traditional" way of doing it. If you need more help, ask/search on your distribution forum how to mount a samba folder. This is not a Wine problem by itself.
