If you don't have a local DNS resolver the using the IP address is the
right way to go. Make sure that the TS IP address is consistant, either
statically assigned or reserved in the DHCP server.

Whilst the UNC path ought to be the same to access the music from the
network as from the TS itself I could envisage problems if the TS turns
the call around within itself rather than using the network stack.

A couple of things to try. Save a shortcut to the TS music folder on
your windows desktop then look at it's properties to see the UNC.

If that doesn't work then start a cmd box (start->run type cmd and OK).
Use a command: net view \\192.168.x.x
This should give you a run down of all the network visible directories
on the TS just in case they are different to what you see in windows.

If that doesn't help then you will probably need to gain a terminal
access to the TS to check permissions of the unix path to the music
files. Unfortunately I can't help you in that respect as I've never had
a TS.

Another thought occurs. If you have created accounts for users on the
TS into which they can store their own personal files then you will
probably need to give the music directory structure access for the
guest user ie one that logs in with no credentials. An alternative is
to grant access to the account under which the Slimserver is running on
the TS platform.
