OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
IT FRIGGIN WORKS!
I had to do a bit more investigating, BUT at least you gave the
foundation Matt! I thank EVERYONE involved. It was a road to get
here, but HERE I AM.
THIS is what ultimately worked:
*sudo mount.cifs -o sec=ntlm,username=xxxx,password=xxxx
//<IPaddress>/SHARE /mnt/other*
If omit sudo, it needs to be in the fstab
I went back to the NAS and set it to "public". Now I do not need the
USER/PASS so it is now:
*sudo mount.cifs -o sec=ntlm //<IPaddress>/SHARE /mnt/other*
These things must use NT Lanmangler security protocols?
It wound up being SO simple and I knew it was... Being CLUELESS SUCKS.
Matt, if you're ever up here in North Phoenix, let me buy you a beer or
3 (Cave Creek Rd /Union Hills area) IF your old enough to do so of
course.... otherwise, its milk & cookies for you my friend, TOLL HOUSE,
not some cheap store-bought crap.
;-)
WOW, I,m am SOOOOOoooooooooooooooo happy right now.
:-) :-) ;-) :-P :-D ....8-)

Sorry for the confusion. Based on your description, the WD
N750 router is acting as a NAS (Network Sttached Storage)
Is this true? If the router/whatever is serving stuff over SMB, then
you don't need Samba, you need mount.cifs .

If the NAS box is requesting a password, something is weird. You said
it has no Win restrictions.
Your NAS device must have a Linux device name.
Because it is a router, I think it is connected on the Linux device
named "/dev/eth0".
This is ... flawed. First off, ethernet interfaces have not had
device nodes in Linux for a long time unless you're doing TUN/TAP or
something like that. Second, a SMB server has a name associated with
it, but it doesn't have an associated device node. DNS, NetBIOS, or
IP addresses are what the mount.cifs things use to talk to the remote
server.
If you know this device's IP address, you could try something like this:
smbclient -L 192.168.X.Y
(should give you a list of all the services that are on 192.168.X.Y)
mkdir /mnt/other
mount -t cifs //192.168.X.Y/SHARE /mnt/other
SHARE needs to be a filesystem share that the device is making
available. In many environments, you usually need to add "-o
user=USER,domain=DOMAIN" to the above mount command so that the server
knows you're using the correct username and domain. If guest access
is available, you may not need "user=guest", but that's something to
try if the first try doesn't work.
