wine users - Feb 2006 - win program needs links to windows shares, how to config

I have a windows program that requires access to some windows
shares on the network.  Some config files and other things
reside on these shares (and must).  The program won't function
w/o these things, but I haven't the foggiest how to have wine
"sense" or "use" the connections.

Do I need to use smbfs and connect to the computer/share giving
a local *nix path that matches it (using mount), or is there
some "correct" way to handle this?  I'm pretty new to wine, and
want to try to do things correctly, if there is a correct way.

In KDE, it doesn't matter if I mount the smb share or not, wine
still doesn't find the needed shares.

This program won't use shares that have been mapped to drive letters??

If it can then why don't you just mount the share somewhere on your
filesystem then create a new link to it in the .wine/dosdevices
directory.
