You should still be able to start slimserver from the command line once you are logged into windows.On 7/25/05, dSw < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Roy Owen Wrote:> This is a Windows issue.

This is a Windows issue. Mapped network drives with letters are not available to services, they are part of the user's profile. In order to use the share you *MUST* use UNC notation, if you are using a disparet network (ie not Windows) you are out of luck. Also try having the service run as a named user and not as system (the default), you still have to use UNC notation but connection is easier/more reliable.On 7/25/05, dSw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I started having the same problem after upgrading to 6.1.To fix it, I first of all switched to starting the SlimServer appmanually after boot up (! couldn't be bothered setting up a newpassword-locked account!).

I started having the same problem after upgrading to 6.1. To fix it, I first of all switched to starting the SlimServer app manually after boot up (! couldn't be bothered setting up a new password-locked account!). This still didn't allow SlimServer to see my music folder so I had to change my music folder specification from "M:" to "\\LS1" and now the folder can be seen ok by SlimServer. I also changed my symbolic links from the drive letter to their equivalent machine name, however I'm not entirely clear if this was necessary or not.
