<br>
IT FRIGGIN WORKS!<br>
<br>
<br>
I had to do a bit more investigating, BUT at least you gave the
foundation Matt! I thank EVERYONE involved. It was a road to
get here, but HERE I AM.<br>
THIS is what ultimately worked:<br>
<br>
<b>sudo mount.cifs -o <big><big>sec=ntlm</big></big>,username=xxxx,password=xxxx
//<IPaddress>/SHARE /mnt/other</b><br>
<br>
If omit sudo, it needs to be in the fstab<br>
<br>
I went back to the NAS and set it to "public". Now I do not need
the USER/PASS so it is now:<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>sudo mount.cifs -o sec=ntlm //<IPaddress>/SHARE
/mnt/other</b><br>
<br>
These things must use NT Lanmangler security protocols?<br>
<br>
It wound up being SO simple and I knew it was... Being CLUELESS
SUCKS.<br>
<br>
Matt, if you're ever up here in North Phoenix, let me buy you a
beer or 3 (Cave Creek Rd /Union Hills area) IF your old enough
to do so of course.... otherwise, its milk & cookies for you
my friend, TOLL HOUSE, not some cheap store-bought crap.<br>
<br>
;-)<br>
<br>
WOW, I,m am SOOOOOoooooooooooooooo happy right now.<br>

Is this true? If the router/whatever is serving stuff over SMB,
then you don't need Samba, you need mount.cifs .

Your NAS device must have a Linux device name.

This is ... flawed. First off, ethernet interfaces have not had
device nodes in Linux for a long time unless you're doing TUN/TAP
or something like that. Second, a SMB server has a name
associated with it, but it doesn't have an associated device
node. DNS, NetBIOS, or IP addresses are what the mount.cifs
things use to talk to the remote server.
<br>
<br>
If you know this device's IP address, you could try something like
this:
<br>
<br>
smbclient -L 192.168.X.Y
<br>
(should give you a list of all the services that are on
192.168.X.Y)
<br>
<br>
mkdir /mnt/other
<br>
mount -t cifs //192.168.X.Y/SHARE /mnt/other
<br>
<br>
SHARE needs to be a filesystem share that the device is making
available. In many environments, you usually need to add "-o
user=USER,domain=DOMAIN" to the above mount command so that the
server knows you're using the correct username and domain. If
guest access is available, you may not need "user=guest", but
that's something to try if the first try doesn't work.
