Thanks all for help and advice. I got it working, but it was not really easy. I try to describe what I did here, maybe it helps other beginners. (At least the steps I think that were relevant....)
Step 1: make sure to in stall Samba: sudo get-apt install smbfs Step 2: install winbind: sudo aptitude install winbind Step 3: edit /etc/nssswitch.conf sudo gedit /etc/nasswitch.conf change the line hosts: files dns (or something that looks like this) into hosts: files wins dns Step 4: Create a directory where to mount the NAS and set permissions: sudo mkdir /mnt/nas sudo chmod 777 /mnt/nas (warning for home networking this may be OK, but not for more open networks) Step 5: Create a password file (not sureif this is really necessary) sudo gedit /root/.smbcreds Should contain two lines: username=username password=mypassword Step 5: edit /etc/fstab sudo gedit /etc/fstab Add single line: //nas/public /mnt/nas cifs credentials=/root/.smbcreds,rw,iocharset=utf8,setuids,file_mode=0666,dir_mode=0777 0 0 Step 6: sudo -a mount Step 7: In the squeezecenter you can access the nas now on the mount point: /mnt/nas Hope this helps for the beginning Linux server experts. I know this is just a recipe. I did not care to much about understanding all details.
