Problem with NFS share on windows7 ultimate

[RavRob]

Like ripper said. Start your browser and type the IP of the WDTV in the address bar. See if you can reach the WDTV with that.

Then you've got a real problem(s). It appears Apache WEB, SSH and maybe even TELNET are not turned on for the WD. Place an "S00custom-options" file on the root of a WD attached HDD with TELNET, Dropbear SSH and Apache enabled. Take a look at and use the S00custom-options file included with the extracted firmware file and edit as needed. It's pretty self-explanatory. Once the file is setup, place it on the root of a locally attached drive on the WD and do a hard boot by pulling power waiting a few seconds (30 is good) and re-connecting power.

If that doesn't work -- looks like maybe a re-install of factory firmware / factory reset and re-install of WDLXTV may be required.

no offense, but you might verify the IP you're using is (still) correct

Wasn't aware you had successfully used puTTY (although the MOUNT command did not return anything). You should be able to access SSH and the WDLXTV WFE/WEC, though. You may want to be sure that you have set the WD to a static IP via the WD network config/settings. Could be a DHCP or DNS issue. Or maybe not.

Oh, well -- gave it my best shot. I'll leave this to the big guns!! Good luck!!

I had a rather difficlut time getting my WIN7 shares seen by the WDTV -- even via CIFS. Here's a reg hack I used in getting it to work. Don't know if that's all I did, but it's a place to start. Also -- make sure the Windows Live Sign-in Assistant is NOT installed on the Win 7 machine. Check add/remove programs and uninstall if you see it.

Registry Hack Windows 7 for WDTV Live
=======================================================
1. Navigate to the following location in the registry editor.
MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\

2. On the right side, double-click on
'everyoneincludesanonymous' and change the 'Value data' from '0' to '1'

3. Double-click on 'NoLmHash' and change the 'Value data' from
'1' to '0'

4. Navigate to the following location in the registry editor:
MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer
\Parameters

5. Double-click on 'restrictnullsessaccess' and change the
'Value data' from '1' to '0'
===========================================================

Of course -- be careful and backup your registry first. Also create a system restore point 1st.

I have now exhausted any possible help that I can be on this matter. Unless I think of something else.

I don't think the registry hacks are worth doing as he is trying to use NFS, not CIFS and that likely wont affect him at all in this case.
