I investigated a bit more and found that these cheap HD363N NAS boxes (and many others) don't support "Linux Extensions" - only a simple subset of CIFS - so first you have to shut that off. Here's what I'm using now: echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled mkdir etc/nas mount.cifs //192.168.0.105/Music etc/nas -o guest echo 1 > /proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled Another problem I was having is that (by my experiments) I found out you can't "see" any files (or even write a file to the share!) in the mounted share unless there are at least 7 files or directories in the root of the share! The share I was originally trying to mount only had 3 files in it. I suspect a bug in the linux kernal of MVPMC itself? Anyways I can now play .mp3 files directly off my NAS via the filebrowser! This basically gives me a MediaMVP with a 320gb hard drive - that opens up possibilities (and a need for a better way to play songs than the filebrowser). Too bad I can't boot the MediaMVP off that box... (some time later) Just realized MVPMC can't see into subdirectories on the share with less than 7 files in them either. I also had a share with only 5 in the root that worked for a while but died until I got it up to 3 directories and 5 files (=8!). Now my original share with 7 files in it went invisible until I added two more (=9!). I'm soooo confused.....
