just set my dm500s running commando to mount and record to my pc, so before i forget anything thought i would post here an maybe help someone else.
ON PC
Make Folder on C: drive root of PC (im using XP), mines is called "dreambox", on my dm500 that will be my DIRECTORY/SHARE
You need to share it, right click on folder, select Properties > Sharing tick the 2 box,s "share this folder on the network" & "allow network users to change my files
Do this with any other folder you create within, you will see a hand created bellow folder to let you know its shared.
I rebooted my pc's (not sure if its a must but did it anyways).
NAS DRIVE
Create a share on Nas Drive mines is also called "dreambox".
Set Username & Password (this is the Username & Password which goes on dm500
ON DREAMBOX
SERVER IP - input the ip of your PC or NAS here
DIRECTORY/SHARE - the shared folder on the PC or NAS (has to be identical name)
USERNAME - same as PC or NAS share
PASSWORD - same as PC or NAS share
MAC ADDRESS - of PC or NAS (can be found using cmd > ipconfig/all on pc or nas in config menu)
The other settings, setup like iv done below, but in the MOUNT OPTIONS you need to change ro,soft,udp
to rw,soft,udp changing the "o" to "w" if left you wont be able to write to the share.
MOUNT ON STARTUP iv left as no as i manually start mount myself.
If any problems mounting, reboot the box or check firewall settings as i had the box ticked "dont allow exceptions" in windows firewall, had to untick and it mounted on next attempt.
These are the basic settings iv used.
