Try running the SlimServer service using a user account instead of the local system account. When doing this, use UNC style paths in the shortcut ( \\machine_name\share_name\optional_folder_path\ ) rather than mapped drive letters. Also, double-check both folder and share permissions on the remote folder. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32181 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
