Default Can anyone tell me how Mount a Network Drive on Xoom?

With the Tiamat 1.3 kernal installed (along with the cifs.ko module as well), I wanted to Mount a Shared network drive on my Xoom so it will act like a local folder on my Xoom. With File Expert, I can see the shared network drive in the Network tab but it will not mount. It says Mount Failed when I try it. Next, I use Mount manager and it will tell me that the device does not exist when I enter the IP address with the shared path. Do anyone have another way of mounting the Drive on my Xoom?

having the same issue so would love some guidance on connecting to a drive on my network. It's on an Ubuntu laptop. Not having luck, whereas it was easy on my wife's iphone4 via vlc streamer.

This is more of a reverse of what he is looking for. This is for mounting the xoom's hd as a network drive.

There are a couple of cifs programs out tere, but I have not been able to get them to work either. If I come across anything or resolve it, i'll post it here.

I installed file expert, and I am able to mount my worldbook nas box, but when I go into the folders, I can't download any of the files. I have verified that I am logged in with the right credentials. I'll need to muck with it a little more.

I would just check your settings. Are trying to mount a network drive or a shared drive?

Default I found a solution

I found a solution to this problem. I create a new thread in the Xoom General area under the name "How to Mount a Network Drive for Streaming Videos, Music and More"
