Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
To make a connection to the shares on the server or NAS device, do the following: In the Places menu, click on Connect to Server. Use the drop down menu to select: Windows share.
In the Server box, type in the IP address of the server or NAS device.
In the Share box, type in the first of the shares you want to connect, for example, share1. Leave the folder box blank (we will look at this again in a minute). Note that in Linux folder names are case sensitive. So share1 is not the same as SHARE1 or even Share1. Your remote server may or may not be case sensitive, but it is better to just type in the share name as it appears on the remote server, so in this case it is share1.
Type in the username of the remote server authentication. For example, if on your Ubuntu machine you logon as "bob", but the remote server or NAS device has "user1" as the user for that share, then use "user1".
The next box in the Connect to Server box list is for the (Windows) Domain name. This is the bit that I said above that I couldn't test out but I am pretty sure that if you are on a Windows Domain trying to connect to shares on a Windows server, that's where you type in the Domain name and it will all work OK. If it doesn't, try this: leave the Domain name field with the correct name in it, but in the Username box, change the username to the following syntax: DOMAINNAME\username. So, if your Domain name is SMITH, and your username is john, then the Username box becomes SMITH\john. Not saying that this will work, but you can always give it a try. I'd love to hear back to find out if this is correct!
Finally you'll see the "Add bookmark" box. If you want to have the share bookmarked so you can go back to it easily, then tick the box and give it a unique name.
Click OK, and expect to get an error message that the share is not mounted. This is annoying but it will work, we just need to put in the username and password to get it mounted. Click OK on the message.
