WAN CIFS mount ?

KMDTHY

Vu+ Newbie
Hi.

I have a Vu+ DUO in my house and at my summer residence. I would like to access the VU+ internal harddrive at home from the box at the summer residence.

So i did a port forwarding in my home router, port 445 to the local static IP og the box.

At the box in the summer residence i did following setup:


Local share name: Home
Mount type: CIFS share
Server IP: WAN IP @ home
Server share: /media/hdd/movie
Use as HDD replacement: No
Mount options: rw
Username: root
Password: ********

I can se the folder "Home" in /media/net/Home - but the folder is empty. In Mounts editor, there is a red cross at the globe, so there is clearny no connectivity :-(

I did try to mount on my windows 7 PC....

\\local IP\Root\media\hdd\movie - works just fine
\\local IP\Harddisk\movie - works just fine


\\WAN IP\Root\media\hdd\movie - Does not work, is does not accept login credentials
\\WAN IP\Harddisk\movie - Does not work, is does not accept login credentials

Maybe my port forwarding is wrong ?


Can someone help me, thanks

I think you should verify ports (TCP and UDP) opened to your box ... I think 445 TCP is not sufficient to establish the SMB connection for linux.
Look the web for SMB ports ;)
