What image are you running on your solo2 please buddy?
It's been a long time since I use the openpli image to be honest buddy... any options in mount manager to be able to mount a network drive? can you check if there is a option to start samba?
The official explanation of it from their website is this:
Samba is software that can be run on a platform other than Microsoft Windows, for example, UNIX, Linux, IBM System 390, OpenVMS, and other operating systems. Samba uses the TCP/IP protocol that is installed on the host server. When correctly configured, it allows that host to interact with a Microsoft Windows client or server as if it is a Windows file and print server.
Some images require you to have it running for you to be able to see your box/network drives etc on the home network
There should be a option/menu for it in network, in the setup menu....
Found this:
QuoteDisplay MoreIn the mount manager (not sure of the order):
Add a new mount.
Use CIFS as the protocol.
Put the IP address of the server in.
Enable the mount point.
Put in the share name (as defined by the server).
Give it a local name.
Specify "no" for the "Use as HDD replacement" option.
Provide the appropriate user name and password for the share.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I have been struggling with this using BH 2.0.8.1. I have mounted my router HDD (which calls itself volume(sda1)) and named it "Router" locally - defined as CIFS (also tried NFS) with no user name or password (the router is not password protected). MountManager gives me a big green tick to say it is mounted but I fail to find it with any tool to play the media on it, or to copy files between it and my HDD. What am I missing?
