Try to find out the logic about cifs. And found this information on the web: ======================== The Difference between CIFS and SMB Ive received quite a few questions from both new and experienced sysadmins, about networked filesystems and file sharing protocols. One question that comes up frequently is, What is the difference between CIFS and SMB? There are many idiosyncrasies, and the terminology can be confusing, so Im going to boil down the essentials in an easy-to-follow blog post.Here we go. SMB SMB stands for Server Message Block. Its a file sharing protocol that was invented by IBM and has been around since the mid-eighties. It was designed to allow computers to read and write files to a remote host over a local area network (LAN). The directories on the remote hosts made available via SMB are called shares. CIFS CIFS stands for Common Internet File System. CIFS is a dialect of SMB. That is, CIFS is a particular implementation of the Server Message Block protocol, created by Microsoft. So whats the difference? Most people, when they use either SMB or CIFS, are talking about the same exact thing. The two are interchangeable not only in discussion, but also in application i.e., a client speaking CIFS can talk to a server speaking SMB and vice versa. Why? Because CIFS is a form of SMB. ============================================ If I then translate it to the way that your setup is working with max2play it seems then that it's working because you have enabled smb. Not sure if i'm right. Maybe flysurfer can add to this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ad6922's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36131 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101856
