I'm revisiting now this old thread in which I solved my problem... Now I have the problem again with my new router Zyxel VMG8823-B50B. I can access the USB stick via Nautilus:
$ nautilus smb://192.168.1.1 but don't manage to mount the USB stick. In /etc/fstab I have: //192.168.1.1/mnt/usb1_sda1 /mnt/shared cifs rw,user,noauto 0 0 but it asks for password and fails: $ mount /mnt/shared/ Password for rodolfo@//192.168.1.1/mnt/usb1_sda1: ************ mount error(112): Host is down Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) Please help whoever can. Thanks, Rodolfo
