OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
IT FRIGGIN WORKS!
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.
THIS is what ultimately worked:
*sudo mount.cifs -o sec=ntlm,username=xxxx,password=xxxx
//<IPaddress>/SHARE /mnt/other*
If omit sudo, it needs to be in the fstab
I went back to the NAS and set it to "public". Now I do not need the
USER/PASS so it is now:
*sudo mount.cifs -o sec=ntlm //<IPaddress>/SHARE /mnt/other*
These things must use NT Lanmangler security protocols?
It wound up being SO simple and I knew it was... Being CLUELESS SUCKS.
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.
;-)
WOW, I,m am SOOOOOoooooooooooooooo happy right now.
:-) :-) ;-) :-P :-D ....8-)
