<div>Ok, the NAS is just a cheap enclosure I picked up when I trashed my PC the end of last year as I wanted to keep my 300GB HDD. Sumvision something or other. I tried CIFS as well but it couldn't resolve the name, I even tried with the IP, I had a look at man
mount.cifs and everything. I haven't a clue about the firmware, I tried a while ago to brave the ravenous wastelands of the sumvision site to look for new one. I'll try that a bit later.</div>
<div>As for windows, my WinXP VM currently has it mapped as a network drive and is working fine.<br>From the NAS http control panel, I can't find any mention of CIFS either, it has samba access and ftp but that's it.

<div>Thanks all :)<br> </div>
