New to porteus. Need to understand how the system access the remote share folders. Here is the real life example:
- i have a shared folder on my UNRAID NAS
- i go to 'networks' on my laptop running porteus v.5
- i can see the folder, but when I click on it nothing happens. Login to porteus as 'root' doesn't change anything in this regard

Thanks.

Hi BKG.
Type your login and password from user (account) of NAS samba server (not from Porteus OS).
