Network mount not connecting

[eattheliving]

Hi everyone,
Just after a bit of help again. I'm running my duo2 on the vix image 5.1.007 at the moment. My issue is that I cannot connect to my pc using a network mount from the box anymore. I lost connection to the pc after updating to win10 and installing a vpn on my router. So my question is does the vpn tunnel stop the network mount connection on my home network to the box?

Cheers guys

Hi Mate,

trying to mount using cifs.

Could be the vpn. Try it without the vpn.

Cracked it�� Went into network browser and scanned network, found the pic and entered user and p/word. The box created a mount and then I could access my movies folder the normal way. Not sure why it didn't work when I creat my own mount??

Thanks guys for all you're suggestions and help
