[SOLVED] SMB not showing on 1b1.1, but shows on android!

[Skywatch]

THanks for the reply Rikardo.

Yes it shows on the correct workgroup on the android and I can browse files and stream media.
It doesn't show in network on xp or win7 but I can mount it as a network drive using the supplied 'configurator'.
Pi/Xbian/XBMC doesn't see it except as a upnp device.

Ideally I would like to set it up with NFS, but I believe that then I won't be able to share with the windows boxes and so cifs/smb is the next best choice.

I tried the following (from the web) but don't really understand the result, except that it can't mount it!

sudo mount -t cifs -o username="admin",password="********" //192.168.1.222/volume1 mnt/smb
Couldn't chdir to mnt/smb: No such file or directory

Then I did......

sudo smbclient -L //192.168.1.222

That looks promising.

I have a thought that the pi *was* set up as a samba server for the usb drive and now needs to be a client for the nas. - But that still doesn't explain why the android sees it no problem and yet the pi and wondows doesn't!

Pulling my hair out now!

Well I got it working!

After 1.5 days of going throughh menus, looking online, reading web pages that made little sense and gasping for a pint of beer, it's done.

The culprit? Jumbo Frame Support.

Turn this off and it's showing on the pi's and windoze computers.

Skywatch.
