    need help to mount a network drive

    hi everybody,
    I've been trying to mount a network drive (DNS320L) on and off since I first got this box and believe I have just about tried everything and read every bit of info on the net (none of which relates to the tm2t). I simply cant do it and need help in the form of a step by step idiots guide please. I'm not a complete idiot when it comes to these things as I have a network of computers, games machines and music media players all over the house. I currently use my PS3 as a media client streaming films from the DNS320 nas drive but would like to stream straight to the tm2t box if it's possible.
    many thanks
    Rob.

    Would also be handy if you mention the image & build number being used on your TM2T.

    ok I've followed the guide to point 3. I can see the tm2t the laptop im typing this on and my nas drive DNS320L. the guide says "Scroll to and click ok to open the device you wish to mount in this case my Vu+ Ultimo.
    Scroll to the hard disc icon and press ok to open"...I get nothing, at the bottom of the screen it says press ok to collapse this host. the only device I can expand is the tm2t receiver. helpppppppppppp.

    On one occasion in the past this screen did not expand but the point was actually shared. Check menu/system/network/mounts setup/mount manager/mount points manager to see if it is actually active.

    Also, sometimes it can take maybe 20 seconds to register during which time it is easy to press the OK button again which closes the selection as soon as it opens.

    Are you using cifcs mounts? If so, did you install both Samba Server & Client?

    Help asked via PM will be ignored.
    The forum is there for help and all will benefit from your questions.
    NO CARD SHARING TALK WILL BE TOLERATED, LAN OR WAN, IN OPEN FORUM OR PM !

    English is not my native tongue.
    I apologise for all my grammar, spelling and idiom errors.
