wine users - Jun 2009 - Map a network CD Drive

I am trying to map a network (windows shared) DVD drive via WINE. 
Using Ubuntu Remix 9.04, I have mounted the drive and am able to access it via
Ubuntu. However cannot map a drive letter via the Wincfg interface.

The various suggestions in a various forums have suggested mapping to the
/mnt/sub-folder however there does not seem to be a sub-folder in the /mnt
directory. Is there something I am missing?

Much appreciated

Does 'autodetect' not work? What wine version?

Try /media. It's probably /media/cdrom.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Nope, tried that one

There is a /cdrom folder there but it is 'empty.' The cdrom I am trying
to access is not on the machine itself. Should it still appear there?

Thanks again,

That's where I am coming unstuck. Where is the folder? In the file browser I
see the drive as mounted under places, but cannot figure out where to reference
it. The media folder has cdrom and cdrom0 folders but these are empty. When I go
into the mounted drive in places I see this files on the cd in the drive

I think I am getting somewhere.

Now for a total newbie pls help me understand

I only install Ubuntu two days ago!

Thanks Gert & Jol17, 
You guys have been loads of help. I have now been able to map directly to the cd
drive I required.
What I was hoping to achieve is not quite done yet.
I think Gert's suggestion though does seem like the way to go and I will
look at doing this .. but that's tomorrow's job   :D

Indded, you're both right, but since he is using Ubuntu and I assume he
didn't do any major core changes, that's where it probably is ;)

Thanks, though!
