Badboy yes i could access mine with windows as well no problem but not with the xtrent, like i said even if you set the rights on your nas box to full access to every one then see if you can get in to it then, if so then play with your nas box settings till your happy

I am not using a nas, I am trying to connect to my server shared drive. I have set it up for full read write.

If you are using windows try this:

1. create a new folder on PC - call it 'vu'
2. create administrative user on PC - to keep things simple call the user 'vu' and the password 'vu'
3. share the folder : properties --> sharing --> advanced sharing --> make sure 'share this folder' is checked and click permissions --> make sure everybody has full control

Then on your Vu+ box

1. menu > setup > system > Network > Mount Manager
2. Add a new network mount point
3. Active - yes
local share name - nas,
mount type - CIFS share
server IP - (enter PC IP here)
server share - /vu
username - vu
password - vu

If you can then mount the share on the VU this test shows that you have incorrect settings on your Windows machine for the other shares you tried to set up

My shared drives are on a ubuntu server and I am able to mount them from my windows PC so I know that the setting are correct as I resolved them to get it to work with windows.

The instructions I gave were for people trying to mount a windows share to the VU

@ ablyes, did you ever solve your problem connecting to the Freebox NAS 250GB ?
I am trying to do the same but after days of trying everything (I think) suggested in the forum cannot connect
I am on VIX 3.0 build 562, have NFS and SAMBA running, can FTP using Filezilla, can access also from laptop, AV, Disc player,internal and external IP but cannot configure my Ultimo to see it.
I can see the FREEBOX on Network Browser but unable to mount using CIFS share, with or without password and the mount will not accept NFS.

I have obviously missed something so any feedback from you or help from other members would be much appreciated to protect my sanity http://www.world-of-satellite.com/im...ilies/mad2.gif

Kind regards,

Please, create your own thread in the ViX-section: this has nothing to do with the OP.

Oops my apologies, correct NAS but incorrect image
Only excuse is my confused state
