Problem
I have a smb share set up (the link ) that I am attempting to connect to from Windows. I'd like to either connect directly using a browser or mount the share to a virtual drive. The problem is I can't seem to get it to work properly. Can anyone let me know how this works? I'm running Windows 7 64-bit

Low Risk
Open Windows Explorer. In the path bar, write (pay attention to the backward slashes). That should create a new entry in "Network" and show its content. Double-click on the share you want, for instance in the example of the question.
