No Media from Network sources

Hi,

I have LinuxMCE installed on my HTPC and there are some other windows pc's connected via lan to this HTPC. The HTPC has a working network connection and the video files from the pc's are shared over the network. But LinuxMCE does not find any video files in the network. I don't have any files on the HTPC now, so I cant say if it can show any media files. I only know that dvds are show in the menu without problems...

What you need is here: http://forum.linuxmce.com/index.php?topic=1419.msg6281#msg6281

Are you sure it has something to do with the grey screen? I think that are to different problems...

corwin:
No, it has to do with searching the forums before posting.

I searched the forums and found 2 threads about this problem. The first one tells me to add a "symbolic link" to detect the media. I can't image what this should be but heres a quote:

--- Quote ---So, if you have a hard drive on your LMCE box with media you can get it to show up inside video folder like this:

cd /home/public/data/videos

sudo ln -s /media/hda5 ./hda5 
--- End quote ---

And heres the link to the thread:
http://forum.linuxmce.com/index.php?topic=1347.0

And there was another thread, that refered to the wiki:
http://wiki.linuxmce.com/index.php/Usage_Intro

But I cant find there any information that is relevant for me. They're talking about "public/private" configuration of the files the whole time, not how to make the media visable first.

I hope somebody can tell me more precisely what I have to do...
