Is there a "net use" command for xTerminal, like in DOS?

How strange is that...I've had zero problems connecting to my network drive using mac, linux or even vista. I'm pretty sure I haven't made any changes to the settings of my N900 either (regarding that streaming issue), it just works. On the other hand, I have made some changes to the settings of the network drive too long ago to remember what I did

Good call...didn't think to look in File Mgr. once connected via Media Player. Now I can copy.

If its part of your "monitored folders" in your media player's library, it will.

Hi. so you're saying that I can instruct my N900's Media Player to monitor folders, and those folders could be on another PC also connected to my wireless router? Something like \\pcname\folder like I do between my own PCs?

I'm not an advanced linux/maemo user so not confident messing around with native string entries.

No.

I'm saying that if you share you Windows Media Player Library, and you connect to it via the 900's Media player, that all the folders and files (which will be media and picture) monitored by Windows Media player, will be available to the 900 via the 900's "File Manager".
