Z Sl-6kl & Linksys Nslu2?

[dping28]

I have the Linksys NSLU2 with a 300g drive attached to it, Is it possible for me to connect to it with my Z (SL-6000L) and stream the mp3s off of it with out copying them to it? And also how can I just browse through the shares on it? Thanks!

Well I have got my Z setup where I can access it with Samba but not the other way around, least I dont know how to. I can access the NSLU2 by web but clicking on any of the mp3s or other files instantly goes into copying to internal flash. I dont want that, I just want to stream them. Dont see the point having multiple copies of the same files. Is there some kind of graphical GUI for accessing samba shares on the Z?

Not that I know of... however, if you want to do it from the terminal...

su

smbmount //192.168.1.77/sharename /usr/mnt/samba -o username=yourusername

then you could put a symlink someplace where you can get to it...

ln -s /mnt/samba /home/zaurus/Documents/samba

you can now use the file browser to navigate around you share as though it were stored on your internal memory... as pointed out in another thread you should probably unmount it before performing a backup operation.

You can also load media player and allow it to search for music but this may take forever depending on your share size... so you would be better off just using the file browser to select the song you want to hear.

That worked perfectly Thank you VERY much!
