New firmware stopped my linux mount of live hub

Hello

I recently update the firmware on my live hub to 3.11.10 and now I can no longer mount the device remotely to a linux comnputer.  This is what I am using to mount

mount -t cifs -o username=guest,password= //192.168.1.126/WDTVLiveHub /mnt/live

I have verified the ip address, I can ping the device.  I have also tried to mount //192.168.1.126//wdtvlivehub

neither work.  I have used no password and even set a password for the device and tried that.  neither works.  Seriously just when I started thinking this box was cool it breaks a second time when I install new firmware.

and what does smbclient show you

Net skink, what error does it return?

By the way, you’re in the wrong forum.

[root@x200 ~]# smbclient -L 192.168.1.126 -U%

It’s still working fine for me:

[root@mars mounts]# mount -t cifs -o username=guest,password= //10.0.0.123/WDTVLiveHub /mounts/temp
[root@mars mounts]# ls temp

are you using the latest firmware? Using your exact command, I get permission denied.

I’ve enabled linux shares  and reset the device to factory defaults after installing the firmware and then renabled linux shares.

Yep…   I have TWO Hubs on my network, both running the latest FW.  Here’s the other one:

[root@mars mounts]# mount -t cifs -o username=guest,password= //10.0.0.126/WDTVLiveHub /mounts/temp
[root@mars mounts]# ls temp

Did you, by chance, accidentally turn on Device Security in the Hub Setup options?

Enabling linux shares is meaningless.  That option allows the Hub to connect to NFS shares.  It has nothing to do with a linux client accessing the Hub via CIFS, which is what you’re doing.

Well i managed to get it but its sad.

Under network share managment on the wdtv live hub, you need to disable windows share server and then renenable and select a login/password pair.  Then use the previous mount commands using that username and password.

I also tried to renable sharing with no username/password and then tried to use guest login with cifs mount and no password, but that fails.

Huh?  I’ve never once done that.
