Hey - I would just like to follow up on this question.

Is it posible to mount a samba drive hosted on another linux system on the WL500G Deluxe.

The reason for this is that I have bought a MAXTOR SHARED STORAGE NAS.

But this sweet thing do not have a built in FTP server (Before you flame me for not buying a PLEXTER NAS instead you should know i tried that - and was COMPLETLY dissapointed.) The software/Functionality/Usability/Stability/Finish/Language/FTP/USB and Filesystem/ WAS COMPLETLY AND UTTERLY USELESS!!!.
Its the worst NAS device out there - BUT it has ftp.... (which in turn only support ONE user with only ONE set of permissions.... hurraaayy for that...... what a fuckup from Plextor).

Oh well.... my agression put aside. I know that the MAXTOR SHARES STORAGE makes its windows shares with Samba. And i would like to make the FTP server in my WL500G Deluxe host the content of my Maxtor NAS.

So im asking here:


Is it posible to mount a Samba share on the WL500G Deluxe.... or would it do the same thing a windows share.

I hope someone(Oleg) will respond and clear this one out one time for all.

Or perhabs consider making a firmware able to mount windows shares in the future.
