external hard drive on router visible in caja but...

Post by lizbeth »

It won't acces the folder

in caja i see the network folder

under the network folder is windows network

under windows network is the name of the samba workgroup for the hard drive, namely lizbeth

when i click the folder it won't open. it says opening lizbeth then the error comes up unable to mount location, unable to retrieve share list from server

in a terminal smbtree shows
  • /Desktop $ smbtree
    Enter lizbeth's password:
    WORKGROUP
    LIZBETH
    \\LIZZI lizzi
which is exactly how i have it listed in the router, lizbeth is the work group and lizzi is the device name

I have tried to adjust the router to share with and without a password account, nothing seems to help.
