how to record onto a Windows 7 share in OpenVix ?

[dmm1000]

hi all

really frustrated newbie here setting up a newtwork mount - to record on
its simply a shared folder called aaa (share name also aaa) on another pc on my network

the username i have set up especially is aaa and the password also aaa

i am using a octagon sf8 xp1000 and i cannot get the bloomin thing mounted - can anyone give me any tips

running Vix stable build 3.0.421 - i have just loaded the firmware on and i have scanned no channels went straight to the network mounts part
havent downloaded any plugins except samba - do i even need that ? i set it running thats all i did

really after a simple share to record onto using CIFS method - this used to work easily on other linux boxes
cant understand why its so difficult here - are there any plugins / extensions need to be installed first ?

I can see the shares clearly from other PCs on the LAN and can copy stuff to the shares - they simply wont mount - ie dont get a nice green earth globe to signify successful mount

here is my screenshot of my attempt - desperately in need of assistance here - thanks

but those 2 links are dead links
flashed to 3.0.789 - every time i add a share and click OK and then go into "manage mountpoints" then there is no mountpoint there ??

Try these plain links. They are in teh vix guides section as well as on th openvix download site. Would be great if a mod could correct the links above.
