Re: DM500s - How to Network Mount?

Thanks for your answer mate
These commands , how can I give them?
Telnet?
Also , after that, how can I create a link for the folder "var/tuxbox/config/enigma/picon" ?

If you have a micro$oft windows based pc you have to use cifs file system to exchange files between the two systems.
Provided you have already a Windows share whose name is "my_win_share" and pc's ip address is 192.168.1.15, on your dm500 you have to issue the following commands:

this is to create the mount directory (do it only once !)

mkdir /mnt/netpc

this is to mount the network share:

mount -t cifs -o user=administrator,password=your_admin_password //192.168.1.15/my_win_share /mnt/netpc

That's all mate !

I would like to give more free space to my dm500s for picons and epg.
Could someone tell me how to mount my PC’s hard drive for use with my Dreambox?
My dm500s has a Pli Jade3 image and my pc running win7.
I don't want to record or watch movies, just to use it for picons and epg storage.

Is it possible?
What should I do?
