Can someone please help me, I am not exactly a noob, and know my way fairly well around a dreambox.
I have successfully managed to mount my laptop drive and can record happily to it, but this was just to test the theory. When I try to mount my PC harddrive to my dreambox 500C which is the machine I wish to use, I get no joy whatsoever. I have tried everything, even using the same IP address as my laptop and all other settings but it will not work. I am using dw 2.1 image, both my laptop & PC are XP and my mount settings are as follows -
I.P address - 192. 168.1.105 - CIFS
dir - Recordings
localdir - /hdd/movie
rw,soft,udp,nolock
extra - nolock,rsize,=82,wsize=8192
user - (pc account-administrator rights)
pass (no password)
automount v

I set both machines up using Devilfish's guide, including share options etc.
Getting really desperate now as everything I try draws a blank. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

I found it was easier to map the drive using the web interface. Try this thread;
