My NAS device shows up twice under Networks
by LinuxEmachine from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5FB4E)
Hi you all. I recently installed Lubuntu 12.10 on my old Emachine desktop and man is it fast now! And most everything works out of the box too.
I want to connect to my Seagate Personal Cloud NAS so I can start uploading files from my desktop computer. The NAS is plugged into my wireless router.
Under Network, the NAS device shows up twice, and I don't know which one I'm supposed to use.
Under properties, the first one is named:
dnssd-domain-PersonalCloud._afpovertcp._tcp
The second one is named:
dnssd-domain-PersonalCloud._smb._tcp
Double clicking the first NAS icon prompts for a Username and Password (or connect anonymously).
The second one doesn't give the prompt until you double click on a subfolder. The Public folder is where I upload movies to stream. If I double click on that, it gives me the same prompt but also has a Domain field.
It's just me connecting to the NAS, I don't think I'm part of a "domain". Sorry, I'm really network illiterate!
Thanks for any help, Matt
