[SWLUG] Mounting a Samba NAS Disk

['o-Dzin Tridral]

Dear Tony,

Thank you for your suggestions.  I had begun to wonder about the
workgroup option.  I've tried some variations but I'm getting nowhere.
 There seem to be more questions than answers.  I'm going to contact
the drive manufacturer and find out more from them.

Meanwhile I'm atempting to do something useful with lftp as the FTP
mode of the drive seems to work.

many thanks,

'o-Dzin
