Just did a clean install of 12.04 on my HP laptop. Now I cannot see and I assume cannot mount my GoFlex NAS.The NAS is connected directly to my router. I've downloaded Samba, smb client. but I cannot see the NAS. I even unplugged the NAS so it would get a new IP but that did not help. I red thru some posts and installed Samba, Samba Client but still could not see the NAS. Fianly I downloaded SMB4K. With that I can see the NAS but cannot mount it. I'm not sure how I connected in the past or how I'm connecting now (ssh, sftp, smb, nfs, or something else).
This should not have any effect on the issue but I did not like the Unity desktop so I downloaded the Gnome Classic desktop. I did try mounting the NAS via Unity but came to the same roadblocks
With my Dell laptop running 11.04 I am still able to connect right out of the box, did not have to download/configure anything. I still have the Dell running and thought i could gain some insight to how it is connecting but I've come up dry.
With 12.04 I cannot see/mount the NAS. Nothing has changed in my network. My NAS is assigned it's IP by the router and it is not static. Never has been and I have never had connection issues in 11.04, even after power outages & ect issues where the router reassigns IP's.
I don't know how 11.04 connected to the NAS. It just did out of the box. With 11.04 it just connected (I could view, add/save, delete files). I’m not sure why I can't connect to it running 12.04.
Thanks in advance.
