Ubuntu Server 13.10 can't mount hard drive that is on my router
- by Keytachi626
So I am working currently with my Ubuntu server which I have it on my laptop at the moment so I can test out how to work with the server OS. I have it up and running with samba, openSSH, webmin, and plexmedia server.
My problem is that I can't seem to get the server to get to the router hard drive. I have a TP-link wdr3500. The format of the hard drive is a FAT32.
What I've tried:
install cifs.
sudo vi /etc/fstab
Type out \\ \tplinklogin.net\volume1 \mnt\media cifs guest 0 0
I have also tried out \\\192.168.0.1\volume1 \mnt\media cifs guest 0 0
But then when I go to terminal and do sudo mount -a, I usually get a error saying wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //ipaddress/dns/volume1 , missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
But in dmesg it will say unable to determine destination address. So am I doing something wrong here? I can't install the hard drive on to my laptop since my family is constantly using it to transfer data back and forth on it and they get mad at me if I just take it away.
