Authentication has to be correct.. Win9x users dont have to worry about this because all applications run in the same context as any drive mappings in the users context.. On winnt,2k,xp they do not. When Sambar is running under the system account it would not have access nor should be able to see user defined drive mappings. I would say the easiest way to do it is to create a custom user id on the Sambar server box and make sambar run under the context of this user. Next grant that user permissions to the proper shares on the remote LAN drive and configure a sambar alias to the UNC:// path of the LAN server.. Now I have not tried using UNC with a vhost.. Don't know if it would work or not.
There are some other gateway/replication services you can run to make a drive mapping properly available to servers.. ie; Gateway services for netware and NFS server.. Not sure how to replicate SMB mount points.
