Title: Using Freebox on a Network Environment
Post by: andowhy on March 15, 2008, 01:42:12 PM
Just wondering if this is possible.  I have a wireless network and thought itd be cool to add the jukebox to the network also - that way I could use the one hard drive to store all my music library (approx 500gb) and just access it from my main pc, my laptop if out the back or when using the actual jukebox.

I had a go at setting it up just now, added shares to the harddrive - but when I tried to run the config on my laptop I could only select the physical C drive on the laptop, not the share shortcut.

Is anyone else running a similar setup and if so how did you get it running? not sure whether it is at all possible but hopefully someone has a few answers for me.

Regards,
Darren

Have you tried to map the shared location to a drive letter (like an H: drive or a Z: drive)??  I know I have done that with other programs in the past with success.....dont know if I ever tried it with Freebox.

Try the instructions outlined here:

Mapped drive to a letter does work, raw UNC names do not.
