[dundee] Garbled SMB filenames

[Nistur]

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.
As for windows, my WinXP VM currently has it mapped as a network drive and
is working fine.
>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.

Thanks all :)
