I have a Dlink NAS DNS-325. When I browse files it's there, absolutely fine, but when I want to connect from an application, such as Thunderbird (or anything else) the network is just not available. This is not just the NAS that's not available, it's the whole network, but the NAS is what concerns me at the moment.
I have been told I need to mount the NAS at startup, and have been directed to a site "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=249889", which instructs me to run the commands
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install nfs-common
Following is the result:
bigbin@Bigbin-Ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get update

bigbin@Bigbin-Ubuntu:~$ ^C
Then tried to view the location:
bigbin@Bigbin-Ubuntu:~$ showmount -e 192.168.1.73
clnt_create: RPC: Port mapper failure - Unable to receive: errno 111 (Connection refused)
Then tried to mount the NAS in a directory called nfs:
bigbin@Bigbin-Ubuntu:~$ sudo mkdir /nfs
[sudo] password for bigbin:
bigbin@Bigbin-Ubuntu:~$ cd /nfs
bigbin@Bigbin-Ubuntu:/nfs$ cd /
bigbin@Bigbin-Ubuntu:/$ sudo mount -o soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 192.168.1.73:/volume1 /nfs
mount.nfs: Connection timed out
Can anyone help please. This is one of the problems preventing my migration from Windows, though by no means the only one.
regards
Phil Binner
