Greetings,

Thanks Rob1n, that's one part of what I was missing.

b0unc3, the case sensitive part that caught me was the password that the N900 auto capitalized, then of course obscured with ****** characters. A stupid mistake on my part, but it would be nice if there was a way to disable the auto capitalization for some fields like passwords.

Regarding command line vs WM...

If I first create a directory called /media/Data, then enter this in the command line:

mount -t cifs //192.168.2.110/Data /media/Data/ -o username=myusername,password=mypassword

I get a share mount such that the contents of the share directory (Data) shows up in the file manager under Data, which is a intended.

This also worked with share names that corresponded to other previously existing directories such as /media/Remote_Filesystems.

Unfortunately, I can't get Wizard Mounter to work with what seem to be the same parameters that work in the command line, as these result in a "Connection Refused" error:

Server: 192.168.2.110
Remote: Data
User: myusername
Password: mypassword

Perhaps someone can see how these may be different or describe exactly what WM would output as a command with these parameters, so I can test with that syntax. There must be a switch, space, or something that differs.

One step I wasn't aware of is when WM creates a subdirectory upon successful mount, under /media/Remote_Filesystems/ that correspond to the following:

/media/Remote_Filesystems/<serverpath>@<servername>

which in this case would be

/media/Remote_Filesystems/Data@192.168.2.105

What is meant by mounting more than one share, is that I couldn't seem to specify more than one share name in the command line since I was mimiking other people's examples, and ended up using pre-existing directories by mistake. I didn't realize that I needed to manually create the corresponding subdirectories under /media/ before this would work.

The network shares on the server are actually Data, Data2, Data3, which correspond to each volume on the server.

Now that I have the following directories:

/media/Data
/media/Data2
/media/Data3

I can use these commands to mount the three shares:

mount -t cifs //192.168.2.110/Data /media/Data/ -o username=myusername,password=mypassword
mount -t cifs //192.168.2.110/Data /media/Data2/ -o username=myusername,password=mypassword
mount -t cifs //192.168.2.110/Data /media/Data3/ -o username=myusername,password=mypassword

It would obviously be preferable to be able to do this with Wizard Mounter.

Thanks!
