Re: [slim] XP installation: Cannot specify network drive for Music Folder
ppmoore wrote: I'm trying to install slimserver on XP. The installation works when I specify a local path on the PC for the music folder. However, when I specify a network drive (\\Sblan\music), or a network drive mapped to a local drive (X:\music), it doesn't work. IIRC, don't you have to use the full UNC format: \\DriveIPAddress\Folder So instead of the name Sblan, you'd have 192.168.1.20 or whatever it is.

Re: [slim] XP installation: Cannot specify network drive for Music Folder
The problem is likely to be related to permissions - there are quite a few threads on this and an FAQ, but the forum search isn't great, so not surprised you couldn't find it. See http://tinyurl.com/35nfwg or http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33228 (for example). Try changing slimserver settings to automatically run at login (instead of run automatically at start up). That should sort it out. If not, please post back with a few more details like what version of Slimserver you are using and someone will try to help you out. -- Siduhe Siduhe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41750 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
