you need a password for this to work I think. Just give tghe guest account a password. Make sure the directory your monting is correct be sure to include any paths before it.

I've tried to use a password, but I get the same error.

When I go to //192.168.2.4/d with another pc I get the right directory.

If you have run an update, then try to follow these step :

1. uninstall wizard-mounter from the app-manager
2. open up the terminal and execute : dpkg --purge wizard-mounter
3. re-install wizard-mounter normally

That is not equivalent to Guest:

Also, Guest is disabled by default. Did you enable it and add permissions for it? IMO, you should either use your own user/pass or, if you care about security (you probably should over wireless), create a share account.

Do you use simple sharing?

I have tried to use my own useraccount with an password, but I still get the same error. I also tried to re-install wizard-mounter, but it makes no differences.

What do you mean by simple sharing?

Thanks for helping :-)

When sharing, you add users to each resource, be it already live users or especially created users. In this list of users, you should be listed with full permissions. Not all users have the right to access remote resources.

To test, go to another computer and type:

net use Z: \\192.168.2.4\d /user:YourUser Yourpassword

Note the use of forward and black slashes, / is UNC syntax. If it works, it's the N900. Otherwise it's your setup. Note the use of colons. It's use zet colon space bs bs ip bs sharename sp slash user colon username sp pass.

If you have a username with spaces, the whole parameter needs double quotes.

Simple sharing is an option at the bottom of the "Folder options" dialog in Explorer, and when ON the advanced optons regarding permissions are gone, along with security atomic control. Instead all shares are based on default already-there users and you log on with default windows user/pass.

Excuse the typos, I'm on my N900.

It finally works

My N900 starts standard with a capital letter. The password starts with a small letter, as a result it didn't worked.

Thanks a lot!

no joy for me either:

Server Address: 192.168.1.5
Remote Directory: downloads
Username: share
Password: share

the program closes when i hit the mount button, and no share. I've tried the re-installing thing mention earlier.

my actual download directory name is:"DOWNLOADS" but windows reports the share as: "\\Paolo-pc\downloads" I've tried putting host name in instead of IP, and all combinations of caps etc. I've also made sure im putting in all lower caps into the password field as it tries to cap the first letter.

im on windows 7, and yes share has remote access permission.

also:

net use Z: \\192.168.1.5\downloads /user:share share

works fine
any ideas?

EDIT: the program even closes when the password is wrong so it aint even getting that far, this sucks

Does it crash with wrong share name or wrong IP? You might have hit an incompatibility in WM. If net use works the share is fine.

You could try to mount form the command line, I guess. You'll have to talk to the developer about this one.

what is this? "wizard _mounter" what does it do? why is it important
