hi:)
I have 2 computers.
One is in the computer room.
and connected to an external drive of 1.5 terabytes , the external usb drive is shared on my network.
I have an HTPC sitting in the living room.
I've mapped a network drive (the 1.5 TB drive sitting in the comp room).
How do I Make the network drive that run to be identified by the XBMC?
When i try to add a network drive every time I failed ...
Is the XBMC can not identify a network drive?
i mean the XBMC recognizes it, but not as network drive, but as a local drive (cause the drived is mapped) but with no nontent ....
can some1 please tell me how to make the XBMC see the mapped drive\shared drive and it content?
thank you!!!!

Try using a different drive letter (XBMC Win maps some letters for internal use) or browsing to the share through XBMC's built in SMB.
