Mount NAS Drive

[wiggy2]

Hi
Please excuse my newbie experience. i am trying to mount my NAS drive so I can access its contents from my VU+ Duo receiver. The part I am unsure of is the server name entry for the drive. It is an Zyxel NSA325.I have typed in NSA325 for the server name and it doesn't work and Im sure that's probably wrong any help would be greatly appreciated

did you run a search in mounts setup-network browser--let it search and it should bring up list,once you see it ,will need to use nfs as far as i can remember.:confused:

how do you get to the nas from your PC?, do you use an IP?, if so you would use that. The hostname will work if thats what you use from the PC (probably). It depends on if the VU box can resolve the name of the NAS. You can test this by teleneting to the VU box and typing in "nslookup nasname". Here is check i can lookup "server" (my nas) and I can ping it too without issue.

[c9550927@server ~]$ telnet 192.168.55.70
Trying 192.168.55.70...
