@les_garden
are you sure you are talking about netDrive (not WebDrive)? If so, what version of NetDrive are you running (I have auto-update enabled & it's gone through a lot of upgrades in the last couple of months, it's now at 1.2.0.2). It would be strange if you are running the same version of NetDrive as (at least) 4 other N900 owners here and not experiencing a change that they've all seen recently.

@YoDude:
the screenshots you posted are nothing really to do with the problem being discussed (ExpanDrive != NetDrive).You may have full access to the N900 filesystem (just as NetDrive used to offer) - but you're accessing it from a totally diferent product unless I've misinterpreted your screenshots?

@users with the netDrive problem (assuming you are on > v1.8.0.15)
as you can see there are several different bits of software that have all been mentioned in this thread & people are all now using diferent versions of each software. If the current netDrive no longer does what you need, you could switch to one of the non-free options reccomended by les_garten/YoDude etc. or you could try installing an older version of netDrive from http://www.netdrive.net/Old_release/...etup-10815.exe. That version is the one originally referenced in the setup instructions at the start of this thread, and it appears that the many versions released in quick succession thereafter (trying to address x64 issues) were bug riddled. 1.2.0.2 is apparently stable, but seems to have the different mount points as described in your problem posts.

caveat: I hardly ever use netDrive, and it's current behaviour is fine for me (I can access /home/user which has all the fles/folders I'd ever dream of messing with via a windows GUI, if I want to do anything outwith there, I'll open puTTYor jsut run ssh or scp direct from a DOS prompt). I found issues with the older (1.8.0.15) version in it's handling of file/folder names with embedded spaces & I haven't tested to see whether that's fixed in 1.2.0.2, so if you do decide to roll back to that version, bear that in mind. I also don't KNOW that a roll back will fix your problem, I just suspect so based on observation.

I'll bow out now, netDrive ain't worth the effort of all these long posts
