Hello Everyone,
I recently joined openSuse forum and have using Linux for a year now. Still new to alot of things. Anyways I wanted to ask about “Icy Box IB-NAS4220-B”
I am using openSuse 10.3 and how do I make this work with openSuse. I also use Ubuntu 8 and in that it recognized it and i could use it.
How can I configure Icy Box IB-NAS4220-B to work with openSuse.
Icy Box is a
NFS Server
Samba Server
FTP Server
DHCP
UPnP-AV
Print Server
Regards
Rup’s

Looks like it supports NFS and Samba. Which one do you want to use?
Uwe
I have 2 computer with OpenSuse 10.3 installed and one with Dual Boot with Windows XP.
What would be the easiest for a newbee. I would like to learn both Samba and NFS.
Remember I am a new to Linux, so if you could explain in simple words.
Thank you and best regards

If Windows comes into play, it is Samba. I don’t know any free NFS client for Windows.
Swerdna has written a nice tutorial, please check it and see if it helps:

Microsoft has one that is described at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324055. I
tried it and gave up. Samba is so much easier.

Hello,
I looked up in the manual and I found the following
Mounting Windows shares in Linux.
mount -t smbfs //192.168.178.100/mnt/ide1/public -o username=admin,password=admin
Usage: mount -V : print version
mount -h : print this help
mount : list mounted filesystems
mount -l : idem, including volume labels
So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
The command is `mount -t fstype] something somewhere’.
Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
mount -a -t|-O] … : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab
mount device : mount device at the known place
mount directory : mount known device here
mount -t type dev dir : ordinary mount command
Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts
a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device.
One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:
mount --bind olddir newdir
or move a subtree:
mount --move olddir newdir
One can change the type of mount containing the directory dir:
mount --make-shared dir
mount --make-slave dir
mount --make-private dir
mount --make-unbindable dir
One can change the type of all the mounts in a mount subtree
containing the directory dir:
mount --make-rshared dir
mount --make-rslave dir
mount --make-rprivate dir
mount --make-runbindable dir
A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom,
or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid .
Other options: -nfFrsvw] -o options] -p passwdfd].
For many more details, say man 8 mount .
And I also tried for NFS.
showmount -e 192.168.178.100
Export list for 192.168.178.100:
/mnt/ide1/public *
mount -t nfs 192.168.178.36:/mnt/ide1/public
Usage: mount -V : print version
mount -h : print this help
mount : list mounted filesystems
mount -l : idem, including volume labels

Now problem is that I have no idea what it has done. Is it working now. If so where can i check that.
Errm, did you read my previous message?
I wouldn’t use NFS if Windows machines are involved, because you’d have to deal with both protocols, CIFS/Samba and NFS. Let’s focus on Samba for now. And please check the URL I posted.
I really don’t want to keep you from reading manpages, but sometimes a good tutorial is much better

First of all thank you. I did try the link which you had mentioned. But i was unable to see or add under Samba.
On my Laptop I had installed Ubuntu and from my Laptop i could access it, but not from my PC. I was wondering why does it work under Ubuntu and Also in Opensuse in Gnome only. I checked the link (smb://ib-nas4220-b/) and tried it under KDE on my PC. There was an error message that the this could be because of the firewall. I turned off the firewall and then there it was.
Thank you once again for your help.
Now just another question, How can I add it so that I have the firewall running at boot and still able to have access to my Icy Box.
I know that there are no viruses for Linux. Better to be safe than sorry. Not because of viruses but online banking and other stuff.
