Im having trouble using a network shared volume as my music library on Windows. It says that the path isn valid. Whats up?
If you are running on Windows NT, 2000 or XP, SlimServer is running as Windows service. Windows services do not have permission to use networked drives by default. You will need to run the SlimServer service as a user who has permission to use the shared volume. To do this, visit Control Panels -> Administrative Tools -> Services. Find SlimServer and double-click to view the properties. Click on the Log On tab, then click This Account and enter the account information for the user account that has access to the network volume. (Note: The user account for the service must be protected by a password for this to work.) If you are still having problems, or are using Windows 98, try using a UNC-style path to specify your music library in the Server Settings page. Instead of X:\path for a mounted volume, use \\SERVER\path\ style addressing. This may work for some servers where direct volume letter mapping does not.
