Samba Linux connections LinkStation Live (ds-dh500gl)

[lawman]

   

Hi,

 

My linkstation live shows fine on my xp, but not on my vista.  I understand this is because of a vista connection bug which now has a fix.

 

However, my query is regarding linux compatibility, which I understand is not offered.

 

But...  If the livestation uses Linux samba already, and ubuntu for example also uses samba, why can none of my linux distros see the livestation in the workgroup?  (even though they can connect via the browswer).  

 

There must be a fix to this?

 

Would the latest firmware upgrade help??

 

thanks
