Hi all.
I have a laptop running W11 on 1 SSD and Z17 on a 2nd SSD.
I have 2 wifi routers running as mesh with 3 SSDs connected to them for back up.
In the wifi console I made them as "media server" and when running W11 I can map them.
Now...my question...how can I map them in Z17?
Thank you
Does this help?

Thank you...but seems I am doing something wrong so far...
What this could be?
I ran
user@nameofPC:~$ sudo mkdir /mnt
[sudo] password for user:
user@nameofpc:~$ sudo mkdir /mnt/backup
user@nameofpc:~$ sudo apt install cifs-utils

Yes the password I entered is correct...
What am I doing wrong?
thank you
I would refer to the manual and dmesg logs as stated.
No other troubleshooting from what I posted...? Nothing evident in what I wrote that could explain this?
and how do I 'refer to the manual and dmesg log"....? I am absolutely not Linux expert
Done some delving. See if any of the later solutions on this thread (towards the bottom) resolve the issue:
basically the 3 SSDs I mentioned are physically connected to the Wifi routers.
I use Asus routers and the settings so far are "do not allow guest login" for the USB application in the Wifi admin console.
When connecting them on W11 I can map them by entering the same user/pwd used for the Wifi admin console.
does this help in troubleshooting this?
actually I have no idea I did this in root...as I wrote I am in no way linux specialist...I just followed instructions previously provided...
How can remove the mount point in root and create in home?
Thank you for all your inputs...however...can' t all these be "graphically be translated" as it should be for any supposed to be "Microsoft friendly basic user"....all what you wrote is totally beyond my comprehension.
