I was having trouble in Ubuntu accessing my network drives. I used "Connect to server..." under "Places" and I was able to access the files fine until I needed to access them in Firefox or other programs to upload them.

Tested under Ubuntu 9.10, All the credit for this belongs to dmizer. I simply adapted to the hda. [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=288534 Original thread here]

In this example we will mount the hda's shared music on our desktop. It will appear as a drive.
