Dear all, I have a Freecom NAS drive which I want to map to from within Linpus. The Freecom NAS drive has a built in Samba server, however it uses the Fat32 file system and has no share security whatsoever. So for example when I connect from Windows I simply connect to something like \\10.0.0.1\Public and I get straight on without specifying either a user name nor password. I want to do something similar from within Linpus. Now I understand that Thunar doesn't natively mount network drives so I need to set a mount point. So I have created an empty folder and I'm trying to use CIFS to make a temporary mount, however it does not seem to like the fact that my NAS drive uses a null password. If I use a command such as... sudo mount -t cifs //10.0.0.1/public NAS I then get prompted for a password, I just hit [enter] as I don't have one. Then I get an error of ' mount error 20 = Not a directory. By the way 'NAS' is the name of my empty folder and I'm running my terminal session from the correct folder. I can map up to a normal Windows XP share perfectly fine with this method, but the NAS drive just refuses to mount. Does anybody know how to get around this problem at all? Many thanks.
