The rest of us are supposed to be NAT'd to 10.0.1.NN. Only the Airport Extreme should be getting an IP address like that from the cable modem. in Nautilus, but I don't know what kind of extra barriers the disk being behind the Airport Extreme presents.Īh, but I may be getting closer! For some reason, I see a domain name then my laptop name and for that I see the IP address is 172.n.n.n and the comment is 'laptopname server (Samba, Ubuntu)'.

I think you'd need some kind of AFP client - again, I once got a connection to my desktop Mac via afp://. I'm guessing the sticking point is the filesystem and protocol. We're 75% Mac in this house so this setup is Mostly Good Enough.Ĭalibre97 wrote:I suppose for all practical purposes it's NAS. And before anyone suggests it, I already have this setup so I'm not going to get another consumer NAS or add another server to the network. The Airport works as a wireless access point just fine, but since it is Apple proprietary, I'll have to accept the limitations regarding disk access. Barring that, I'll just have to resign myself to only having access to the shared disk when I'm at the Mac Mini I'll be getting soon. Anyway, that's all I'm able to do at this point, so I'll await word on someone hopefully getting this to work. I don't have a WINS server which is one of the options in the Airport config: to specify a workgroup name and a WINS server. I double-click on WORKGROUP and then after a bit I get an error: Unable to mount location/Failed to retrieve share list from server.

OK, so now under Mint, I open the File Browser and click Network, Takes a minute to get results, but then I see Windows Network with WORKGROUP in the right pane. Under Mint, I can see the same name for the base station, but when I click on it, I don't get asked for credentials. Finally, I authenticate to the base station with a user account I created on the base station for disk access. UPDATE: To get to it under Windows, I open My Network Places, then Entire Network, then Microsoft Windows Network, then Workgroup, THEN the name I assigned to the base station. On a Mac, it just appears under Shared when I have access to the disk configured to be 'Using network password'. No need to feel too bad, though, because I don't see any straightforward way of connecting to that same disk over Windows XP either.
