Unable to connect to NAS - what settings should I use?

[fliptoback]

After tearing all my hairs out... I figured this out. It turns out that for whatever reason snakeoil wanted to connect only using SMB v1 and my Synology NAS is configured to have the minimum SMB version as v2 and max SMB version as v3. So Snakeoil keeps throwing that Error 95 message. I have now verified that if I set the NAS to use a minimum SMB v1, the connection from snakeoil now works.

However, this is not what i want my NAS to be configured with, so I reset SMB minimum to SMB v2.

Then i thought to give NFS a try.

This is what I did:
1. In Synology control panel - File services - Enable NFS. Check this checkbox.

2. In Synology control panel - Shared folder - go to the music folder - click Edit. Navigate to NFS permissions. Create a new NFS rule.

In the dialog box, this is what i did (not sure if these are the optimum settings)

Hostname = 192.168.1.159 (this is the hostname of my snakeoil pc)
privilege = read only
Squash = map all users to guest
Security = sys
Allow users to access mounted subfolders = tick

Now in snakeoil os, set the mount points as follows:
media = 192.168.1.113:/volume1/music
mount point = leave it empty
mount type = NFS

and now everything works!
