Re: CIFS not connecting
said by wierdo  :To handle them it would have to pass only the initial //192.168.1.xxx/i to the module, then tell the logger to use /cifs1/tomato_bandwidth as the directory. this unfortunately makes sense. Thanks for clarifying
said by B :They should really clarify that screen prompt, then. Maybe "UNC path to share root". Definitely agree! |

said by atomicrabbit :Kinda stupid. It works now. The shared directory gets mounted. Hah, that'll do it. Since tomato passes the input directly to the CIFS/SMB kernel module it can't handle subdirectories. To handle them it would have to pass only the initial //192.168.1.xxx/i to the module, then tell the logger to use /cifs1/tomato_bandwidth as the directory.
AFAIK, it's hardcoded to always use /cifs1, so you're stuck with only using the root of a share.

well if the second path worked without the terminating slash, then the first path should have as well.
And actually, if I add the terminating slash, after saving the settings, tomato automatically removes it |

Great detective work. I agree; since they prompt for "UNC" path they really should have accepted your original version. Did you try it both with and without the terminating slash?

ok i figured it out. Apparently if I share the entire drive, the sub-directories are not shared to the router ??? I say "to the router" because if I try to access the shared drive from another computer, I am able to access the entire drive and all it's contents.
But for some reason I had to set the shared settings of the "tomato_bandwidth" directory separately from the i: drives sharing properties.
So now instead of giving the path \\192.168.1.XXX\i\tomato_bandwidth ... I set teh shared propeties of the tomato_bandwidth directory separately and set the shared path to \\192.168.1.XXX\tomato_bandwidth
Kinda stupid.
It works now. The shared directory gets mounted. |

@pandora: I figured out why WIreShark wasn't working on my OS, if you read my last post, and I got it working now.
ok back to my problem. I figured out to filter "smb" requests and I think I found what the problem, is, I just don't know how to fix it.
It's giving me ERROR: STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME |

You've gone from a Linksys alternative firmware question to a Microsoft beta operating system question. It is helpful to run a production OS when trying to get help for features.

Nevermind, I figured it out, it has something to do with the beta version of WinPcap (v4.1 beta5); it doesn't seem to work with Windows 7. Although the previous stable version (v4.0.2) seems to work fine with Windows 7... go figure.
@wierdo, what would I be looking for in WireShark? would it specifically say "CIFS" somewhere? |

I cannot seem to get WireShark to work on windows 7. I downloaded Wireshark portable and I keep getting this error:
Dumpcap has stopped working
and then when WireShark starts, it says:
The NPF driver isn't running. You may have trouble capturing or listing interfaces.
The Event Viewer details say this:

The first share is to a Buffalo Tech Linkstation Live NAS device which runs SAMBA under Linux. The 2nd share is to a Windows Vista PC. Both work fine.
Edit to add: The user and password on the Windows PC are placebo, they do not reflect any real Windows user account. I just plug in a name and password to keep Tomato happy.

It couldn't be something as silly as that the share name has to actually be "share"? That's the only commonality I see so far...

It is a workgroup, not a domain. The connection works with or without the workgroup (domain) entered.
The connection you see in the snapshot is to a Buffalo Tech Linkstation Live with an account and password established for my Linksys router. The Linkstation I believe is using Samba to provide NAS on my LAN. The version of Tomato I am using is from my first post in this thread.
The Linkstation has a static IP set by my router based on its MAC address.

Use wireshark or tcpdump to verify you're not seeing any CIFS traffic from the router. If still no, the only thing I can think of is a routing issue, like if your local network is 192.168.1.* and the WAN port has gotten an address in the same block.
I know at one point I had tomato working with CIFS.

* Use an IP address. ex: \\192.168.1.5\share YES
* Use a regular account that requires username/password instead of a guest account. YES
* Make sure the account has read/write permission. YES
* Make sure NAT Loopback is enabled in Advanced/Firewall. YES, it's set to Forward Only, but I tried setting it to All, and it still didn't work |
