Err, yeah, BUT:
it's requesting it as \\DFGServer\stuff !
UNC pathname handling is still not implemented yet in Wine.
Somebody should *really* implement this in some way by interfacing with
Samba in order to get data from non-mounted servers...
Several programs *require* this and thus fail to run.
And no, I won't do it. I've got a hell of a lot of other things to do.
But I'd be glad to help someone really interested in and capable of
getting this to work.
