<P><FONT SIZE=2>Samba doesn't work if you try to mount with an IP address. You MUST use a name. Best way is just add it to your hosts file. I have not found this documented anywhere and have spent a bit of time finding it out for myself.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hope this helps,</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>The drive doesn't require a pass word but tried the usual guest username</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>password combinations. Have tried man smbmount but didn't see anything.</FONT>
