I'm having trouble getting my wife's laptop to link to the humax via the network shares automount method.
You need to Share the c:\users\david\downloads directory. Then it should pop-up in the "net share" list and the Humax will probably then make the mapping.Ok, results for typing net share
He's trying to go the other way: automount is about creating a virtual USB at the Humax using the laptop (or other NAS) as the source of content.I've never needed to use network shares automount on my laptop to play a file from the Humax. With the samba package installed from the custom firmware I just browse to the file in the custom firmware browser, click on it and select 'Play'. The file needs to be decrypted to play but that's automatically done too thanks to the cf.
You can also ping the laptop from the Humax if you open a Telnet session.

The password 0000 is used to FTP into the Humax, not Telnet, there are some notes on Telneting into the Humax on the Wiki HERE, if you are getting the humax# prompt then you have already successfully telneted into your Humax, try something like ls -al e.g.
Code:humax# ls -al total 17 drwxrwxr-x 18 root root 183 Apr 22 00:25 . drwxrwxr-x 18 root root 183 Apr 22 00:25 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 575 Apr 22 00:25 bin drwxrwxr-x 5 root root 2140 Jan 12 2013 dev drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 446 Apr 22 00:25 etc drwxrwxr-x 3 root root 23 Jan 12 2013 home drwxrwxr-x 4 root root 668 Jan 12 2013 lib drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 120 Jan 1 2000 media drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 84 May 13 2011 mnt lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Apr 22 00:25 mod -> mnt/hd2/mod drwxrwxr-x 3 root root 22 Jan 12 2013 opt dr-xr-xr-x 61 root root 0 Jan 1 2000 proc drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 3 Jan 12 2013 root drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 578 Apr 22 00:25 sbin drwxrwxr-x 3 root root 23 Jan 12 2013 share drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 0 Jan 1 2000 sys drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 320 Aug 23 12:30 tmp drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 96 Aug 31 2011 usr drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 88 Apr 22 00:25 var humax#

You need to Share the c:\users\david\downloads directory. Then it should pop-up in the "net share" list and the Humax will probably then make the mapping.
You can either do it with the GUI or just do "net share downloads=c:\users\david\downloads"
#Try "ping" dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry...Yeah, got a load of files and dates, I'm looking to ping the laptop from the humax, what command would I put in?
