wine users - Jan 2009 - Mount Windows Server Share as drive letter

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.

Dan

smbmount //192.168.100.10/guest ~/1 -o user=LogInNameOfServer
Then map a drive letter to ~/1

but my /wine directory has no "unc" subdirectory.
when I issued the command ln -s /mnt/smb/<myserver>/<myshare>
unc/<myserver>/<myshare> it returned No such file or directory
error.

I tried creating the unc directory then issuing the command, still got that
error.
Also, my mnt directory is empty.
I am using Ubuntu 8.10 could that cause smb share to map differently?
