Can i get a step by step instruction on mounting network drives on my LAN?
the network drives are on a windows machine.
many thanks in advance
One that worked for a user: Network Problem with Windows 10 Connection
Here are some more options: https://askubuntu.com/a/1203670
how about on Zorin 15?
The first link is of someone on Z15. The second link was to a 18.04 Ubuntu solution which is also what Z15 is.
This might help
Yes that's done but I can find the place through a Wine app for instance I wanna save a file direct to the server
I'm on ZORIN 15 LITE
Connection refused by server
Sorry, I've never done this myself. I'll defer to others on the forum.
I found this:

You may not be interested in the terminal part, but he states clearly in his opening post that he has access to his networked drive (mapped)
Edit:
And her goes into detail about mounting them automatically at boot (3rd post down):
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=137974
I'll see if I can find/create a step by step.
Automatic mounting
Note: You may need to enable systemd-networkd-wait-online.service
or NetworkManager-wait-online.service
(depending on your setup) to proper enable booting on start-up.
As mount entry
This is a simple example of a cifs
mount entry that requires authentication:
/etc/fstab
//SERVER/sharename /mnt/mountpoint cifs _netdev,nofail,username=myuser,password=mypass 0 0
Note: Spaces in sharename should be replaced by \040
(ASCII code for space in octal). For example, //SERVER/share name
on the command line should be //SERVER/share\040name
in /etc/fstab
.
Tip: Use x-systemd.automount
if you want them to be mounted only upon access. See Fstab#Remote filesystem for details.
From the automatic mounting section of samba wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samba#Automatic_mounting
This should also make them available in thunar in network or other locations.
i feel getting the terminal part helps me understand ZorinOS all together
i didnt have to go far,Paradoxons entry helped me find where the network drive is(is it mounted idk) and i can get it in my wine apps
thank you @337harveyim gonna try the mounting bit tho
