wine users - Oct 2008 - UNC Mapping with WINE

My apologies if this is an off-topic WINE question...

I have 5 Wintel machines that all UNC map over to my Ubuntu server
(\\Ubuntu\M-Music\) for my MediaMonkey application.  I use SAMBA for network
sharing and it works perfectly.

I am trying to configure WINE to have the same UNC mapping structure on my Linux
machine (eg. \Ubuntu\M-Music\) so I can share a common SQLite database
throughout the network.

I do not use Drive Letter mapping, rather I use UNC Mapping (long story) but
that seems to be my confusion with the Winecfg settings - everything seems Drive
letter based.

All media files, DB reside on the Ubuntu machine.

I've tried the manual (pg 14) for network shares and some Forum postings -
but no luck in getting it configured correctly.

Any help would be great - thank you.

Wine can not access remote windows shares. You have to mount them first with
samba.

Also there are questions if Wine even supports UNC mapping at all (into local
filesystem of course). There is some code that does it but the shell doesn't
support it - you can't "browse for file" into UNC paths.
