No. SlimServer running as a Windows service will run by default logged in using the local system account, not the user that installed it. It differs from system to system, but you may have to run the service under a user account if you want to access network file shares. An oddity that I once ran into (one of those "feature, not a bug" things) is that if you're logged in on the server machine as a user with mapped drives and set a UNC path to your music folder in the web interface, SlimServer may translate that path to a mapped drive letter. Then when the SlimServer service starts up, the path will not work. I'm sure that's bit more than a few people in the butt. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32040 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
