1) first of all, move to the LAST version of WINE. 2) the remote resource in the winXP that you see in Ubuntu is under a HIDE DIRECTORY (the ones that there names start with "." , like .wine ) thats why you cannot see it, I dont remember the exacte name of the directory. 3) what you should do is: *create a dir call remote like this: sudo mkdir /mnt/remote * mount the remote resource in the dir we just created: sudo mount -t smbfs //IP/resource_name /mnt/remote if you have user and password for it use sudo mount -t smbfs //IP/resource_name /mnt/remote -o user=username,password=password *then you can add a drive in wine selectiong the /mnt/remote folder in YOUR filesystem thats pointing to remote resource
