OK - now using an old W7 PC,.
I can create a remote NAS on Rpi4, looking at Rpi5's usb folders. Remote NAS entry is ticked and green, abd the library updates.
On the Rpi5 things are not so good.
First, there is a difference with screen behaviour (compared with the Rpi4) on clicking the 'Scan' button when starting to create a remote NAS. The screen changes to show ' Reconnect' + 'checking connection' before redisplaying the remote nas screen.
The expected options appear in the list, though, when the screen comes back to normal.
On selecting the appropriate remote source/name, entering 'guest' and blank passord, and entering a name for the connected source and it fails, with a red cross (as described).
I have tried with 3 possible username/password combinations, all with the same result. However in Config/System on the Rpi4 the Samba share is set with password = None.
The mount error is:`
20250126 121625 worker: Try (mount -t cifs "//RPI4/WDGreen" -o username="guest",password="",rsize=61440,wsize=65536,iocharset=utf8,ro,noserverino,cache=none,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777 "/mnt/NAS/RPi4-drive")
20250126 121625 worker: Err (mount error: could not resolve address for RPI4: Unknown error)
I hope this is an acceptable way of displaying the error message (if not how do I insert a code block?), and that someone can read the tea leaves.
Thanks
