    NFS 0r SMABA mount on 500C

    Hi there,
    Got my 500C working successsfully with a CIFS share to my PC, but bandwith was poor and image was very jittery. So got a NAS drive to mount an image to which is placed into the same switch as the 500C, but I cant mount successfully. Tried both NFS ans SAMBA setup as follows

    NFS Setup

    IP.ADD.OF.NAS NFS
    Dir: media2 (directory created on NAS Drive)
    Local Dir /hdd/movie
    Options: rw.soft.udp.nolock
    extra.rsize=8192.wsize=8192
    Mount Unsuccessful.

    Samba Setup
    IP.ADD.OF.NAS SMBFS
    Dir: media2 (directory created on NAS Drive)
    Local Dir /hdd/movie
    User: Administrator
    Pass: "Given Password"

    Problem with the SMBFS share is that the admin username and password should both be admin and admin. However, I cannot find the backspace or delete key to over write the password on the dreambox.

    Anyone got any ideas?

      You were correct to choose SMBFS as it's a Samba filesystem.

      Try and use the admin account of the nas for the username and password.

      I assume you've already set the ip address of the NAS to match your router config? Or enabled DHCP?

          router ip - 192.168.1.1
          nas drive ip - 192.168.1.2
          dreambox ip - 192.168.1.3

          created directory on nas drive named "media2"

          username and password of nas are simply admin and admin

          However, with dreambox remote, I cant find back space or delete or space to overwrite the extra characters of what is picking up administrator and the password from the previous CIFS share.

              For some reason, the dreambox won't mount a SMB share using the remote, you will need to use the web interface on a PC.

                  ok... is the client directory the dreambox (i.e. hdd/movie) and server directory the directory on the NAS (such as media2 which I have setup)or vice versa?
                  Have interchanged them and they still fail.
                  Have attached iamges of my setup config.

                      The client directory should be /hdd/movie

                      The server directory is the folder on the NAS. But don't add a slash beforehand, just put the folder name. It's also case sensitive.

                      Also make sure your image has a /hdd/movie folder on it.
