Hi All,

i can’t connect to my NAS. I’ve tried several ways to connect e.g. //nas/volume1/music //nas/music [//192.168.1.200/music](https://192.168.1.200/music) and a lot more 😉  
How can i troubleshoot this? The NAS ist reachable from PC, Smartphone, SAT-receiver and so on.  
I use a Pi zero and there are ~100gb Music on the NAS, may be too much?  
a local copy of an music album is working.

Greetings from Germany  
Tom

I had the same problem and this workaround worked for me.  
You have to SSH into your Musicbox and then execute the following command:

mount -t cifs -o sec=ntlm,vers=1.0,ro,user= **username** ,password= **password** “[//192.168.1.200/Music](https://192.168.1.200/Music)” /music/Network/

Replace **username** and **password** with the username and password for your synology.  
Once you have done this you can check with this command to see if it works:

ls -l /music/Network/

This should show you your music directory’s.  
After that you can browse your directory’s from your Musicbox.

You have to do this each time you reset your Musicbox unfortunately.

Hope it helps.

Have either of you tried this fix?: [Smb connection error 112 host is down](https://discourse.mopidy.com/t/smb-connection-error-112-host-is-down/2358/2)

Worked like a charm Briho. As soon as i added the code and restarted Musicbox it started searching for new audio on the assigned Synology folders.

Nice one and thanks for the tip!
