Hi everyone

 

I'm trying to find the way to map on my DM800 se my nework drive where i host all my movies.

 

Both DM and Network Drive are of course on same IP mark (192.168.x.x)

 

The network drive is password protected (user and psw that i can set according to my wish).

 

I been trying to install the SMB extention from feed.. but it cause a green screen with boot loop... ( i had to flash the latest 05/02 image to make it work again).

 

Can anybody gave me some tips?

 

Is there a easy plug in to access my drive?

 

About the drive is a 4TB EXT4 formatted.

 

I hope you can help me.

 

Regards

What is a "network drive"? A NAS system? A remote PC or server?

 

All software required to make a mount (a mapping) from the box to a server is already present, there is no need to install anything.

 

You can use the mount manager and/or the network browser (you'll find them under menu - setup - network) to make a connection to a drive in a remote server or NAS.

Yes.. i wasn't enought clear.. sorry...

i followed the mount process but had a lot of trouble to access the resource even after mounted the network folder..

 

I gave IP username and psw

and i can't see the files inside the mounted location.

No, sorry, I never used them to make a mount. Perhaps someone else?

The easiest way is to go into network parameters and select: network browser it will show you the list of discovered device and then you can easily mount the shares from there.
