Did you try "//debian/user" or "\\debian\user"? If the former, try using the backslashes.
Note that you need to be running VMware for this to work.

you want to open a windows share, not a website. Windows shares are different and you need to open that using windows explorer (NOT Internet Exploder or Firefox). Windows Explorer has some File / Open menu entry ...

Thx all, but i figured out a better way... that works! :-\ I went into explorer/control panel. Selected tools, map network drive, and voila, i selected a letter and entered //debian/user... (or which ever way the slashes go) and it worked. YAY. Now lets see if i can patch....

First, please read our posting guidelines. We do not allow the use of abbreviations like "u."
Second, you've had three people in a row explain what you're doing wrong. With VMware running, go to "Run" and enter "\\debian\user" with backslashes, not forward slashes.
OR, open Windows Explorer, and type "\\debian\user" into the address bar. If you don't have an address bar, go to view --> toolbars --> address bar and turn it on.
