tough network question
hi guys, i hope you can help me out.
i am wired connected to a 1gb ethernet connection that has a 1gb switch or ethernet hub between the internet and my computer. the ethernet hub also has a drive connected to it whci i can see with my macs but it doesnt show up on the linux. i can see the ethernet hub on the linux but nothing after that. how do i get to see the other drives connected to the ethernet hub? |
What do you mean by "see"?
And what do you mean by an "ethernet hub between the internet and my computer"? Do you have a router anywhere in the mix? What about a DHCP server? What is this "ethernet hub"? You mentioned a switch, but then you said it's "between" your computer and "the internet", what does that mean? You can't take an incoming single IP network connection from your ISP, throw it into a dumb switch, and then plug your whole network into it. You need a router/NAT to create a subnet for your devices, so they can all share the IP from your ISP. |
I have a router, thats what i mean, sorry. i have a 1gb router with 5 outputs. i have my mac hard wired , another mac hard wired, a synology diskstation ( this is what im trying to get access to) hard wired and a network printer hard wired. i say hard wired meaning NOT wireless. they are all connected to the router via 1 gb ethernet cable cat 6.
by 'see' i mean that when I open a finder window on my mac, a list of drives and computers are available for me to access. or if i need to gain access to the synology which has all my photos on it, i only have to press 'open file' and i can navigate all the way to the synology. its online, its there available. the linux cannot get access past the router. I can see the router on the network and then nothing else. i hope this is clear. |
i just found it using autoconfig in the network settings.

How is your diskstation configured? windows and nfs sharing?
What file browser are you using, Nautilus? There should be a network icon which when selected will browse for windows shares (SMB/CIFS). If samba is installed then you also have some command line tools to browse the network i.e. findsmb and smbtree. Just press the enter for the password. |
