[Solved] Enable LAN login from SSH | samba issue

[itarill]

Hey guys,

I have two issues with my router, and I'd really really appreciate any help I get:
1. Somehow I blocked LAN access of my router. Now to add to my ignorance, I have not yet backed up the configs because I was not finished with it (but I definitely do not want to start over). I can SSH to the router, but I do not know either the OS or the CLI commands to solve the issues (I could make do with a cisco router, but this I cannot...)

2. I have trouble configuring samba share between the AC56U and the linux mint on my PC. Whenever I configure the share to allow guest login, this works:
[/etc/fstab]
//AC56U/sharename/ /mnt/smb/myfolder cifs credentials=/home/myusername/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0

the contents of the cred file are:
[~/.smbcredentials]
username=AddedUserToSambaUsersOnRouter
password=doubleTripleCheckedPasswordAndTheyDoMatch

Whenever I switch off guest login and try mount -a I get an error message saying the share does not exist.

Thanks.

P.S.: thanks for all the Good work, Merlin!

Did you perhaps turn on https access?

That's because when you turn off guest access the path changes (it's just the way Asus does it )

Guest login On:
\\Rt-ac68u\verbatim\ASUS

Guest login Off:
\\Rt-ac68u\asus

If you configured it to only accept logins from specific IP, disable it with these commands:

nvram set http_client=0
nvram commit
service restart_httpd

Thanks. I was able to mount it w/ "Simpler share naming" turned on (I could not manage with the setting turned off, though).

This was indeed the case but due to my ignorance the need for port number went unnoticed. Thanks for the help everyone!
