I have a samba application running on my Nokia E90 mobile phone, which works really well. However, I would like to create a network drive in this application, to directly open the storage\music shared folder. However, this refuses to work, although I am able to browse to the music folder via the storage folder.
I have been told that this is something to do with the music folder not having been set up as a share. Does this make sense, and if so, is there a solution?

I would do the following.
1. Login to bubba using ssh
2. Become root.
3. Stop samba. /etc/init.d/samba stop
4. Edit the samba config file at /etc/samba/smb.conf
Copy/paste the "storage" definition and call it music. Change path to path=/var/samva/public/music
Save file.
6. Start samba. /etc/init.d/samba start
