The address is indeed correct, I can ping it from the terminal just fine. The sharename is also 100% correct, but it just doesn't work. Also, I can access the shares with my laptop which is connected to the same WLAN as the N900. No authentication required with the laptop (running xp) either. I have TVersity server on the mediapc which I can see as DLNA share in the media player and the file manager. I even tried turning that off in the odd chance that it would've affected the problem, but it didn't seem to make any difference at all.

@b0unc3

I'm unable to mount any share in windows domain.
Wizard creates directory
/media/Remote_Filesystems/<path>@<server>

without errors - but empty. I checked profile ./wm and it is 100% correct.

Could be any relation with:
mount -t cifs //<server>/<path> /<your>/<local>/<path> -o user=<domain>/<user>,pass=<pass>,ip=<ip of server>,direct
You get message: "Mounting the DFS root for domain not implemented yet" ?


This is without troubles:
mount.cifs //<server>/<path> /<your>/<local>/<path> -ouser=<domain>/<user>,pass=<pass>,ip=<ip of server>,direct

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Yes, I bet the problem is with the error output you're getting running mount manually , since wizard-mounter run exactly that command.
I have to admit that I don't know very well what this error mean or what cause it (maybe the cifs module?).
Btw the main difference between running "mount -t cifs" or "mount.cifs" is that mount.cifs will auto-resolve the ip address of the server for you if you don't pass it in the -o command line (iirc) but wizard-mounter has a workaround to automatically resolve the ip address (maybe check out the ip address?).
I will investigate more on this behavior.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Hi,

I just registered to this forum as i am having a problem with this package. First of all thanks very much for doing it, i find it very useful. Now to the problem:

I have UTF8 encoded file-system in my samba share, so i needed the nls_utf8 package from testing, and i can even mount correctly (using iocharset=utf8) from the terminal. Unfortunately, i couldn't find this possibility in wizard-mounter.

If there is indeed no such option, would it be possible to add a checkbox for example at samba bookmark creation, for utf8 file-systems? Or alternatively add a field for user defined options. Also, i think it would be a good idea to add a dependency for this nls_utf8 package.

Thanks,
-sc

Hi,
first of all, welcome! :)
Unfortunately there is ( :( ) no possibility (atm) to pass optional parameters to the mount command but I would also say that this is on my ToDo list, so it should be available in the next version.
Putting nls_utf8 as dependency could not be a good option, whoever want to pass optional parameter to the mount command I suppose he know what is doing and what he need.


Best Regards.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

b0unc3,

Excellent application, works great for me for most of my shares, save one issue I ran into:

I have a share I want to mount. Considering my credentials for that share, the password has a comma (",") in the password. In the documentation of the CIFS kernel module, they make sure to let you know that this will cause an issue, the workarounds being invoking "mount" with the password set in an environment variable or using a credentials file. I tried both approaches without success, which I believe is attributed to differences between a traditional "mount" and busybox "mount".

Has anyone else run into this issue and successfully resolved this? When I get some free time (ha!) I might look into this a bit more.

EDIT: I downloaded the mount.cifs linked in this thread and ran the appropriate command for using mount.cifs with a credentials file, that worked just fine. Do you think you could bake that into a future release?

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Yes, I think I'll come back to use mount.cifs as it was before.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

If I ssh to the device and mkdir /mnt/frank as root I can then execute:

Nokia-N900-42-11:/root$ sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.3/frank /mnt/frank -o u r=guest,pass=
Nokia-N900-42-11:/root$

But if I try to mount using wizard-mounter 1.5.7maemo5.1 I get "Connection refused". This is with Server Address = 192.168.1.3 and Remote Resource = frank

Any ideas?

thanks,
Frank

You need to set also the username/password (guest I suppose)
