Unfortunately, Apple broke SMB sharing in the 7.4.1 firmware update, as I wrote about in <a href="http://www.revolution34.com/2009/03/31/time-capsule-firmware-741-breaks-smb-shares/" rel="nofollow"> this post</a>. If you want to use this functionality you'll need to downgrade your firmware. Hi Nero, thanks for dropping by.

I did read something somewhere about file permissions on SMB drives, but they weren't in connection with an airport. I'll see if I can find the link. Do you have access to a PC? A good test to make sure everything is working properly would be to try and connect to the drive from a PC (which will use SMB - I don't think that's what the Mac is using to connect).

What's strange is the Samba drive almost shows and then everything disappears - even the information at the bottom (the picture of a folder and a path), like it just doesn't like it. I might pop a thread onto MPC and see what they say. Maybe it's buggin out on me The other annoying thing - but this is on the mac side, and is a airport problem is when I enabled Account/Login on the drive - everything that was already on the drive disappears to the Mac side (it warns you which is fair enough :). I guess this is because it creates a new folder structure (starting with Users)... (I definitely copied the new files afterwards though and they show up fine if I log in with the mac as tvixhd1). Problem is I've already copied my 80gb iTunes to the drive - maybe I can connect it directly to my mac pro and move the folder into the tvixhd1 User folder...

Just bought myself an external 1TB for use with my airport (I don't actually use airport as I'm on mac pro connected with ethernet - but my wife's macbook uses it). Anyway - did this setup exactly - the TVix can see my wireless network, have put in tvixhd1 as username and password and added that user in the SAMBA drive. But it won't connect. I suspect I'm not connecting to the Airport Extreme properly. I access with the password but the next screen (TVIX Wi-Fi Network Info) only shows SSID: MyAirport, but the rest of the fields (TVIX IP, subnet etc..) are all blank. So this is probably the source of the problem. Are those fields filled in your TViX? Is the base station IP address the one it gets from my router? I have it set to Bridge mode which I assume is correct... help! ;) Hey Tismey,

Hope you’re well…
