I've tried doing my due diligence and not posting something without putting a bit of research into, but I haven't been able to crack this (rather new to linux).

I'm trying to access files on my External HD which is connected to my Asus router. I've followed all the instructions on this post:

How do I access an external hard drive plugged into my router?

My /etc/fstab looks like:

//192.168.29.1/External_HD  /media/public  cifs  guest 0  0

However when I run:

mount -a

I get:

mount error(6): No such device or address

I know the share is up as I can access it from other computers (Mac & Windows) and I see the directories when I run

smbclient -L //192.168.29.1/External_HD -U guest

Any ideas on what's wrong in my /etc/fstab?

Try something like this instead:

//NAME_OF_ROUTER/External_HD  /media/public  cifs  guest,ip=192.168.29.1 0  0
