On very first bootup, all same-domain computers running WinXP and Linspire immediately recognized the two Disks of my NASLite server without much ado. Perfect! But then I noticed that I couldn't write to the NAS disks from the Linspire machines, altho the WinXP machines had no such trouble. I planned to use rsync to backup the Linspire (Debian-based) linux machine to my NAS.
The NAS drives are two virgin Maxtor 300 GB 's. Server is at fixed IP of 192.168.0.224 on a decent Fast Ethernet network.
I'm no expert on Samba, NFS, or the various Linux dialects. I have read that I can access those NAS drives with after I do a simple 'mount'. The linspire documentation refers to editing my harddriive.inf file, which appears to contain the parametric definition of the various I/O devices. The /etc/fstab file is a generated file (presumably, from the harddrive.inf file?).
Commands like
smb://192.168.0.224/export/Disk-1
fail with "no such file or directory"
Looks like I have to build from scratch a basic I/O specification of my NAS drives, since Linspire itself doesn't get a chance to properly 'discover' them? Can anyone share with me their similar experience or point me to a helpful reference? Thanks!
