First of all, I had to set the USB drive as a `Managed partition' from the router web GUI. Secondly, its right address was `//192.168.1.2/Shared' and not `//192.168.1.1/USB_storage'. With these corrections, and the following line: //192.168.1.2/Shared /mnt/shared cifs rw,user,noauto 0 0 in /etc/fstab, I can now properly mount the USB derive as a normal user simply with: $ mount /mnt/shared and hitting `Enter' when prompted for password. This said, and thanked all who helped, I now wish to automatic mounting at start up but don't manage to. Googling around I found many suggestions but no one that helped me. On another machine of mine, an old Acer Aspire One netbook, it works by putting in fstab the following: //192.168.1.2/Shared /mnt/shared cifs rw,user,password=mypassword 0 0 where `mypassword' is *any* word. On my desktop Lenovo, instead, it does not work. Please, any suggestion? Thanks, Rodolfo
