Cannot access new NAS / Accidentally succeeded ;-) More hints appreciated and needed ;-D

[SYNass IT Ubuntu / Linux]

Hi John
Thanks for pointing into correct direction !
Accidentally and intuitively searching for Samba folder/s I came across
smb.conf and noticed "MSHOME" as standard entry !!
Adjusted it to fit our environment ...
... and with "Connect to Server ..." LD141 folder now shows a [SMB] !!!

Accessing the two already existing folders (private w/PWD & public
wh/PWD I still get some complains that contains could not be displayed
and I assume because they are empty !?

Just now I am copying my XPP's "Documents and Settings" to this NAS ;-D

Well, as greenhorn, I do not realise and understand really and exactly
what I did ...
... and how it worked. ;-)

Succeeding indeed makes me happy and I am glad I got it working !
Thanks a lot, to all of you, who replied and helped.

Cheers, svobi
