Mount network share

Post by Rapsody »

I have an TP-Link WR1043ND. I installed the firmware 1.4.7 and minidlna package and it works just fine as an media server for usb attached storage directly to the router.

I tried to setup an Western Digital My Book Live network drive and i was disappointed because the default media server application Twonky is not playing all files.

So i tried to install minidlna on the WD device. No luck.

Then i thought mounting the network share to the router and then using minidlna installed on the router. Can anyone help me? I cannot mount the network share. I tried several solutions and i have the same error:


root@Gargoyle:/# mount -t cifs "//MyBookLive/Media" /mnt/NAS_Personal
mount: mounting //MyBookLive/Media on /mnt/NAS_Personal failed: No such device

MyBookLive is the name of the WD device (i can ping it and i receive response)
Media is a share on that WD device (i can access it from a W7 computer)
NAS_Personal is a folder created by me.

Thanks for any help
