I've set up CIFs on my tomato firmware, so that I can have the Bandwidth monitoring written to a folder on my computer's hdd.
When I check the CIFS configuration, it says:
Error mounting CIFS #1. Still trying... |

I just double checked, and have CIFS working on my version of Tomato firmware. You may want to try the Tomato linked here - »www.linksysinfo.org/forums/showt···?t=60185
While the primary purpose of the Tomato in the link above is to add support for USB devices, it does adds a heck of a lot of features to Tomato and cleans up a lot of code.

jaoko, i disabled the firewall, made no difference. Still can't connect.
I've verified that I have file sharing working properly. I've tried connecting to my computer from another
@pandora, I'll look into that. Thanks for the link. |

| I assume you read their FAQ?
I just pulled it up Googling.... good luck.
Why isn't CIFS working for me?
* Use an IP address. ex: \\192.168.1.5\share
* Use a regular account that requires username/password instead of a guest account.
* Make sure the account has read/write permission.
* Make sure NAT Loopback is enabled in Advanced/Firewall.
You also might want to make sure the share name is simple and short.

| 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.

| 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.

3 edits | 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.

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:

1 edit | 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? |

| 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.
