I went through the FAQ and couldn't find anything.
There were no examples about linking to a file on a network or local
machine.
Now that you told me to go there I went again and still nothing.
I checked the discussion page and saw something about adding
$wgUrlProtocols[] = 'file://;' to LocalSettings.php.
I did this and still nothing.

I have tried creating links using
[file://some_samba_server/some_share/some_folder/some_file.ppt
some_file.ppt] but it doesn't show up as a link like a http:// link
would have.
Is this easily enabled?
Read the FAQ.
