Hello.

-I am trying to mount a shared folder
for quite some time now with no success !

-My Network is under IP range 192.168.1.x / 255.255.255.0 .
I have 8 port Hub 10/100Mbit.
On the Hub is VU+ Solo / aDSL Router / 5 PCs.

-Only one PC has Big HDD to store picture/Video/Music/etc.
This PC has Win7 X86 and Five User Accounts with password.
I have Created a new Account with Username & Password
to Use with VU+ Solo.( UserName=DVB Password=DVB )

I have given full access permission to VU+ account on Win7 Shared folder.
This folder is also the same for other PCs to Share data.
My network Type is Home Network.
Folder Win7 Location C:\Media
Folder Network Location //192.168.1.10/Media

VU+ Mount Point settings.

You are making this far to complicated, w7 supports UPnP.
With BH image press Blue x2 scroll down to UPnP Client DJmout - Red to Enable
Now use you media player and select DLNA and you will see your w7 directories.

I will try this soonest possible

I remember the successfully mounting of my W7 share on Duo but at the moment my windows machine is taken offline for maintenance (CPU cooler broken)... :(

With my previous receiver and WinXP X86 I had no issues.
Win7 Far more complicated for security reasons.
But sooner or later with our community's excellent support,
I will be successful. :cool:

Have you tried via DLNA ?
Just set up your w7 via network and sharing centre.
On your Vu enable Djmount, it takes minutes.

Yes I have but i can't see the files on win7 pc, although i can see all PCs.
My network is 3Pc winXP / 1PC Media HTPC / 1PC Win7 Server(Game PC).
All shared folder don't have permission for everyone or homegroup computers.
Reason is different use for every pc.
Specifically The folder i wond to share with VU+ Solo Has Kids movies
Permissions for folder are :
DVB rw (VU+ Solo)
PC1 r
PC3 r
PC2 rw
I have tried manually mount folder but i had no luck also.
I have given the following command.
mount -t cifs -o username=DVB,password=DVB //192.168.1.10/movies /var/mnt/net
Receiver responded after 2-3min " Host is Down "

-Well I have tried all i think of and i was unsuccessful ! :wallbash:
I have easily and successfully mount VU+ Solo media/net with TEST folder on my other WinXP computer. :yes:
What is so different on Windows Seven ? !

-Also from VU+ Network Menu I have successfully mount win7 folder as SHARENAME(Default).
But i wasn't able to find it anywhere ! ?

-I am thinking to test with other teams images to
eliminate BH image issues.

Has anyone did successfully what I am struggling unsuccessfully to achieve with BH image ? :confused:

Finally I gave up.:no:
I was NOT successful to mount WIN7 folder with VU+ Solo. :mad:

I will Install New HDD to a WinXP PC and move Kids Media there.
WinXP mount at VU+ Solo is very very easy.:D

When I've online a Win7 machine the share works but I don't remember the correct procedure to enable it.

Heres how I mount my Windows 7 drive -

1. create folder on PC - mine is called 'vu'
2. create administrative user on PC, to keep things simple lets call the user 'vu' and the password 'vu'
3. share the folder : properties --> sharing --> advanced sharing --> make sure 'share this folder' is checked and click permissions --> make sure everybody has full control

On your Vu+ box -

1. menu --> setup --> system --> Network --> Mount Manager
2. Add a new network mount point
3. Active - yes, local share name - nas, mount type - CIFS share, server IP - (enter PC IP here), server share - /vu, username - vu, password - vu

Don't select 'use as hdd replacement' as I've seen this do some funny things....manually amend recording paths and recorded files path!

HTH

Thank you guys for step by step instruction. Now I can share WIN7 folders from my VU UNO, but still can't expand WIN7 in NETWORK BROWSER. Is it normal?
Thanks again :)

I try to connect an external HDD of my laptop running win7. The drive letter is G:
Is there any way to do it?
I tried Sandman's way and it worked only with a folder named "vu" of my laptop's HDD --> C:

I would like to mount the whole HDD G:

Please help!!

I added my mountpoint and then I went to recording paths and I can't see my "mountpoint" anywhere! I called the local share "Vu" - is there a step I'm missing? How can I get it to actually show up

Edit: I pressed menu, switched to "file list" and checked all the parent directories... there's nothing!
