Firmware v1.9.2.7 CR4 [Oleg]

[mr0mega]

Hi,

Just flashed my router with this firmware in the hope of making my storage of files on my usb disk in both windows and mac a more enjoyable task than FTPing

However, I have come accross some problems:

Samba: By the look of it I have to change some settings 'in' my router, how can I go about activating this, and using it in win/mac

NFS: This looks more complete than Samba, however whenever I try to connect I get access denied, so I try to do it using my router user and password and it still fails..is this correct?

mount admin:admin@192.168.1.1:/usb /Mount

where I added usb as one of the exported names

Thank you very much in advance, hopefully I can use the shared usb disk to it's potential

Nothing except specifying LAN host name and enabling samba.

mount admin:admin@192.168.1.1:/usb /Mount

Nfs does not use usernames concept at all. So the right command should be as simmple as this:

mount -tnfs 192.168.1.1:/tmp/harddisk /Mount

Also, you need to be sure, that directory /usb exists on the router or you've used appropriate options in the exports to map /usb to something really present. Did you?

Hi,

Thanks for answering my questions, I have enabled NFS, and created two folders on my usb disk, any directory specified in the mount command gives me this error:

John-Yourens-Computer:~ johnyouren$ mount -tnfs 192.168.1.1:/usb /Mount
mount_nfs: can't access /usb: Permission denied

The same with your example:

John-Yourens-Computer:~ johnyouren$ mount -tnfs 192.168.1.1:/tmp/harddisk /Mount
mount_nfs: can't access /tmp/harddisk: Permission denied

I will restart my mac, and see if I have any look with SAMBA

Also, I cannot get my mac to print, if I use RAW printing there is no way of specifing the port to use, and so that doesn't work.

If I set to LPR, it still won't print, even though it seems to send the data to the router.

If you have any ideas I would be more than happy to try them.

Thanks!

It appears, that MAC requires support for CIFS, which is not supported by this Samba version.
