[RESOLVED] Mount NAS ET-CSWSINASU2-BK

[mikorians]

Trying to mount an Eagle Consus ET-CSWSINASU2-BK on ethernet...
I've tried it by name and IP address, but I keep getting error 5.
Only the browser manager at the IP address (not /public) requires a password, but I've fed in that info as well to the mount line and still error 5!
I can even access the manager in Midori if I enter the un/pw!!!

Help!

Assuming this is an SMB (i.e. Windows Networking) share that you are trying to access, try username=Guest and password=Guest.

I really appreciate your reply!
I tried it. No good. Error 5.
This mount command is very exacting syntactically.
Upper-case G for guest, eh?
How about the rest of the line? I've tried the guest option too.
Everybody- If you're using an Ethernet NAS, tell me what you use please.
There's probably a hundred combinations. (Remember, no password is required for my other windows computers to access this drive)

After hours and plenty of googling, research, and many permutations, here's the answer:

I first added to (for convenience)
sudo nano /etc/hosts
With the IP address and the host name like so:

nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn HOSTNAME

This was so the IP address could be called by name with this:

sudo mount //HOSTNAME/SHARE /mnt/TheDirImade -t cifs -o password=,file_mode=0777,dir_mode_0777,sec=ntlm,nounix
