#22796 — mount device?

I have a drive connected to my router.
The router shows in 'shared' in the finder.
When I click on it it shows my the drive that is connected to the router.
When I click on that it mounts the drive and I can read/write data there.

How can I 'mount' that device from the terminal bash shell?
As it is not always mounted.

When mounted in the finder df shows this:
//GUEST:@cisco/MyDisk 1953043136  98994624 1854048512     6%    /Volumes/MyDisk

But I don't know if its afp, smb, nfs... I sort of recognize the syntax...
but cisco doesn't resolve to an IP address.

That's an SMB (samba/CIFS) mount. The offical Microsoft format is 
\\<computername>\<sharename>

Samba implemented the use of / instead of \ because you would have to escape
the backslashes and enter \\\\<computer>\\<share>

The Guest:@ is user name and password (null in this case).

cisco resolves to an ip address using the windows directory service, instead
of the DNS service. 

I can't try it to see if MacOS accepts it, all of my smb servers dns names
match their windows names.

You could try the IP address for them, do a netstat -rn and see what your
default address is, that may work. 

Note that SAMBA is different in Lion than previous releases.

Thanks Geoffrey.

I'm pretty sure cisco resolved to 192.168.1.1  (The router/gateway that the device is attached to.)

Destination        Gateway            Flags        Refs      Use   Netif Expire
default            192.168.1.1        UGSc           33        0     en1

mount -t smbfs //GUEST@192.168.1.1/MyDisk /Volumes/MyDisk

I created the directory MyDisk first...

Thanks.
