Sharing Networked drives with other applicaions on other computers
Hi there
Is there a way to share a Network drive with another computer (via File sharing - not via standard networking access)
For example I have say computer A that has shared networked drives from computer C (\\server\shared drive)
Now say I want to run PLEX or another media server on Computer B but use as the libraries the shared networked drives accessible on Computer A. Computer B has no direct neaccess to Computer C.
Doesn't seem possible in Windows to "Share" the network drives even though user has full read / write access.
Where I've noticed this is that for example my smart TV can access say PLEX running on my Windows computer it doesn't see the Libraries from the actual server but only Locally attached drives.
Same with VLC - only shows the local drives.
No probs if you can access the actual NAS of course.
Can "Sharing" be done like this or does it all have to be set up via Networking / Samba etc etc.
Cheers
