Hello all,
New to Wine, not so new to Linux but still a newbie.
I need to run my Goldmine software on my Ubuntu machine, so I need to mount the drive letter that I use on my workstation (windows) to the share on my Windows server so that Goldmine can see its database and license file.
I tried pointing the drive letter to the path using SMB://server/share but that does not seem to work.
Please advise, how can I mount a drive letter (even if it is using something other than Wine) so that my software can see its database and license files?
Thanks in advance, this will be a real time saver for me.

You forgot to do the smbmount. The very first step isDaniel T wrote:I tried creating the unc directory then issuing the command, still got that error.
Also, my mnt directory is empty.
to create a directory somewhere that has the
network share mounted from Unix's point of
view, i.e. one where looking at the directory
with 'ls' shows the right files.
You can do this either with smbmount (the old hard way) into e.g. /mnt,
or with gnome (the new easy way) into ~/.gvfs.
The user guide could use a bit of polish here.
Maybe we should move that section to the wiki
at least for now so people can improve it more easily.
