How to access a CIFS mounted share via your Tomato router
This setup will let you access a file share located on a remote network by mounting it with your Linksys router running Tomato firmware.
[list:1sy32nb4]
[*:1sy32nb4]Access your router’s web page. [/*:m:1sy32nb4]
[*:1sy32nb4]Scroll down the list on the left, find [b:1sy32nb4]Administration, [/b:1sy32nb4]click it. [/*:m:1sy32nb4]
[*:1sy32nb4]Under [b:1sy32nb4]Administration, [/b:1sy32nb4]click [b:1sy32nb4]CIFS Client[/b:1sy32nb4].
“\\IPADDRESS-OF-SHARE\SHARE-NAME [/*:m:1sy32nb4]
[*:1sy32nb4]With the new page in front of you, set up CIFS as follows: [/*:m:1sy32nb4][/list:u:1sy32nb4]

(The above values will be to access the Shared folder on the Server).
[list:1sy32nb4]
[*:1sy32nb4]Leave [b:1sy32nb4]Domain [/b:1sy32nb4]blank, unless you are running a Domain and authenticate to it. [/*:m:1sy32nb4]
[*:1sy32nb4][b:1sy32nb4]Execute when mounted[/b:1sy32nb4], leave blank also. [/*:m:1sy32nb4]
[*:1sy32nb4]Click [b:1sy32nb4]Save [/b:1sy32nb4]at the bottom, verify the router reports space on the share. [/*:m:1sy32nb4][/list:u:1sy32nb4]
Now that the share has been setup, it’s time to setup the connection to it. For this, we’ll use [b:1sy32nb4]WinSCP[/b:1sy32nb4] (Portable).
Create a new connection and configure as shown below.

Thunderbird: Sharing items among all computers
As an alternative to MS Outlook, I decided to use Mozilla Thunderbird with the Lightning Add-on extension to give me calendar features, too. I’ve been very impressed so far.
Local Folders (shared)
The first step was to setup sharing among all of my computers so that I could share a common set of items for email, calendar(s), and contacts (more on calenars and contacts later…). To do this, you need to setup a shared network location for Thunderbird’s Local Folders, and point each installation to use it. Because my Thunderbird Local Folders are stored on my server, they get backed up. And since Thunderbird uses common standards for the email format, restoring is as easy as copying the folder(s) back to the original location (see below for more details). Read more »
