How to mount a Dlink DNS-323 NAS in Ubuntu 8.10 32 bit and 64 bit

Does anybody have an idea about what I'm doing wrong?

That's a lot for your precious help

You will need to install smbfs. You can search for the package "smbfs" in synaptic or install it with the following command:

sudo apt-get install smbfs

Must not forget smbfs ....just stumbled about this again whilst setting up a new system ... now I know what I'd forgotten

I have 12.10, and I just followed all instructions so far.

mount -a gave me the following error:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.27.7/Media/Music,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
       need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

I realised I did not have smbfs, and when I tried to install it, I got this:

ram@frodo:/$ sudo apt-get install smbfs
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package smbfs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  cifs-utils

E: Package 'smbfs' has no installation candidate

So I installed cifs-utils instead.

This time, mount -a gives me this error:

mount error(2): No such file or directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

Any suggestions?
