How to Connect a Network Drive

  1. Identify the IP address of the new machine (most likely the server)
    1. Look in Network Settings –> Gear icon
  2. As root (super user), modify this file:
     /etc/fstab 
    1. For example:
       nano /etc/fstab 
  3. Look for the line that looks like this:
     //192.168.0.101/IDTM /home/USERNAME/IDTM cifs vers=3.0,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,noauto,users,username=USERNAME 0 0 
    • If that line doesn't exist
      • Add it at the end of the file. Don't forget to replace the first USERNAME and the one near the end of the line with your actual username.
      • If the folder /home/USERNAME/IDTM does not yet exist, create it.
    • If that line does exist, continue below and simply modify it.
  4. Without modifying anything else carefully modify the IP address to match that of the new server.
  5. Save and close.
