mapping a network drive in midori

Pardon my stupidity in terms of linux. I am trying to map a network drive so I can play mp3 files from the network in my compaq IA. I already got my IA with a usb nic that works over the network. I can resolve computer names by pinging into it. When I try to put in the command mount /mnt/share1, it gives me an error that the /mnt directory is read only. Thanks.

I haven't been able to mount anything in any directories except /tmp. That's because the entire filesystem is mounted read-only except for the /tmp directory. Some of the directories are linked to directories under /tmp to make them writeable.

Try this if you have a windows share:

mkdir /tmp/mp3
mount -t smbfs -o username=SomeUser //ShareComputer/MP3Share /tmp/mp3

Where SomeUser is the name of a user on ShareComputer.

You may get an error message saying something about a missing codepage or something. You need to search the internet for the file unicode_map.850 and put it in /etc/codepages

I'm by no means an expert, but I used the /mnt/cf as the location for my network map. The downsides to this are if you actually mount the CF or if you have more than one network mount.
