Thread: Mounting NDAS device


first of let me tell i'm linux-ignorant, i've started using ubuntu 12.04.
i've freecom ii hardwired router (thomsontg585 v7) hardwired pc can access xp using ximeta drivers. when login ubuntu doesn't appear in network, windows network, workgroup whereas i'm able see , act on wife laptop. i've read lot of posts (most of them complex knowledge of linux) , found workaround on net, isn't working me
i've done

installed smbfs

1) sudo apt-get install smbfs

created directory

2) sudo mkdir /media/freecom

edited nsswitch.conf

3) sudo nano /etc/nsswitch.conf

hosts: files mdns4_minimal [notfound=return] dns mdns4

modified as

hosts: files mdns4_minimal [notfound=return] wins dns mdns4

installed winbind

4) sudo apt-get install winbind

granted permission read , write

5) sudo nano /root/.smbcredentials

added these 2 rows:

username=marco
password=*****

6) sudo chmod 700 /root/.smbcredentials

then

7) sudo mount -a

nothing happend. i'm missing somenthing?

there pretty manual here make nas automount. via "network" should able access nas well, not handy automounting.


actions:
think making more complicated necessary; installing smbfs, creating fstab entry (see manual) , making .cifscredentials file should do, of course need mount point, can create folder in home directory , link fstab file
