Access Share - Wireless/USB Drive with KDE

I have an external hard drive connected to my wireless router by a USB port on the wireless router. Using Gnome I never have a problem conntecting to the external drive but I cannot do so in KDE. Browsing the network sees drive but when trying to connect just get the following message...

"The location 'smb:/' is invalid."

I just cannot figure out why I cannot connect in KDE. Help...thanks.

Re: Access Share - Wireless/USB Drive with KDE

With only KDE I'm unsure how to do it, I use Subtle. But you can put a line in your /etc/fstab, to mount it. (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sa … e_to_fstab). I'm assuming its samba.

Re: Access Share - Wireless/USB Drive with KDE

did you try to connect with smbclient?

and does it work if you use smb://$IP or $NBname/
sometimes there is a error with the sharelists but the share actually works
