If you like to access the share via SAMBA, SAMBA has to be set up properly. You

/etc/samba/smb.conf or use the
Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) or WebMin to set the correct parame-
ters.
For additional options see the Section called Options for details.
Drive Redirection
The Drive Redirection is another possibility to use a virtual disc drive on the remote
computer. With Drive Redirection you do not have to use an image file but may work
with a drive from your local computer on the remote machine. The drive is hereby
shared over a TCP network connection. Devices such as floppy drives, hard discs,
CD ROMs and other removable devices like USB sticks can be redirected. It is even
possible to enable a write support so that for the remote machine it is possible to
write data to your local disc.
