Cheers Terry, yes the distro is xubuntu 12:10 (upgraded from 12:04), I
have had a quick look at the link, only 136 pages!!!!
Yeah, but only the first page contains the info; the rest are the
comments.
I found that my problem was fixed by the time I'd done three or four
of the
recommended fixes.
I have wondered if nfs would be a better option but I think the fact
that I can't change the permission of the files under the nas os might
be a problem (which I guess is the same problem here anyway)
I can't quite see why permissions on the NAS box should effect user
access in
this instance. I don't know what kind of NAS Box you have, but my
Netgear
Stora provides an account for each user and gives them access to
their files
and a 'Family Library' which contains files that other users have
shared.
To get access to this using samba. On Kubuntu, I open Dolphin, click
on the
network link in the LH pane and this gives me 'Samba Shares' as a
folder.
When I click on this, I'm asked to log in. At this point have have
to enter
my Stora credentials and then I’m in.
Exactly what happen if you do this in Ubuntu (using Nautilus
presumably).
I had been mounting it at boot time via a line in the fstab using
cifs, here the line I have at present but it won't mount at boot up
//192.168.0.57/openshare/data /media/share cifs
defaults,uid=mit,gid=users 0 0
So I normally have to mount it via the cli as root with
mount //192.168.0.57/openshare/data /media/share
But this only gives me write access
At the moment the nas is set to static IP but it won't accept a dns ip
address (I was going to use the router IP which is also the gateway
address) so I am considering setting it to dhcp with reserved IP
address and see if that makes any difference but I think I may be
looking in the wrong place.
Working my way through the first part of the link you send
me................watch this space
Tim
Things like nas, servers and printers should always have fixed IP
addresses, so that they are always in the 'same place' for access. Same
with routers. It's things like end-points, wireless devices, and
terminals that use DHCP. It's easier to manage if you have your fixed IP
addresses outside of your DHCP range, but in the same subnet.
For instance, my router is 192.168.1.1, my DHCP range is 192.168.1.2 - 8
and my wife's XP box, which has the shared folder that I use for passing
things between other units on the network, is 192.168.1.10.
Cheers,
Peter
