I am able to connect to a specific MS Access Database when it is on the same Windows computer as Mathematica via the command

&lt;&lt; DatabaseLink`;
conn = OpenSQLConnection[JDBC["odbc", "Databasename"]];


However, I cannot figure out how to connect to this database over a local area network -- disregarding trivial network problems (the computers can ping eachother), is this even possible?


Question: Apache access to NTFS linked folders in linux
Answer: I assume the NTFS partition belongs to a Windows machine? You can share it in Windows and mount it in Debian with 

mount -t cifs //windows_host/share /var/www/test2 uid=xxx,gid=xxx,rw,sec=ntlmv 0 0

So you don't need to deal with NTFS directly.
