No major changes during feature freeze but since you seem to know everything about smb and windows submit a patch.

XBMC contains still a lot of legacy code from the XBOX including the smb client which was ported from unix. Since porting involves a lot of effort the client is still very old for the windows port.
MS provides native functions to map a network drive via smb as local drive which I want to include in the next version. In the meanwhile you can to that by your own.

Mapped drive: Z:\\Linspire\DVD1
When browsed to in XBMC to add a new share it shows as Z;DVD1. When I select this it shows C:\Documents and Settings\Jake\Application Data\XBMC\cache....this is as far I get.
In Network setup -->SMB Client-->WINS-Server 0.0.0.0 Should there be some other value here? If so, what would it be? I tried putting in the ip of my router but that did nothing.

dont map a drive to Z:. I think xbmc still uses z drive for the cache. use another letter eg a:,B: f: or other. Then it will work.
