This may work:
Telnet into the router
login
Enter the following:
service samba on
service samba start
hth
More like
service xinetd on
service xinetd start
This will handle the SWAT web interface. Samba is enabled by default and can be accessed via My Network Places in Windows using the \\192.168.1.1\share address _________________ Optware, the Right Way

Yeah, I was hoping that "ipkg-opt install samba35-swat" would add samba as a service, however, I only have the following services (see attached screenshot). I need to be able to do both file and printer sharing. I'm seriously considering rolling back to the ASUS firmware because NTFS file sharing and printer sharing just worked right out of the box (although I'm clearly making major tradeoffs by abandoning DD-WRT until these issues get fixed).

frater's "Optware the Right Way" installs the ntfs module for 2.4 kernels only. Because the module is currently not working with the 2.6 kernels, I do not think the ntfs module gets installed.
One thing that could possibly be done is to "downgrade" your firmware to the 2.4 kernel (if your router supports it). I am not entirely sure what you gain by using the 2.6 kernel, but it appears the compatibility is a bit better with the 2.4 kernel. _________________ E3000 22200M KongVPN K26

The ntfs module will only give read permission and it's deprecated in k2.6, which is why people use ntfs-3g and it uses fuse module, giving read/write permissions.
I just loaded up Tomato USB on my Asus RT-N16 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/tomatousb/)...seriously amazing! It just works, and is so clean and simple to use! I am very impressed with Tomato so far! DD-WRT has some serious competition, which is a good thing, make no mistake. :-)
Check out the USB storage and file sharing options available in the screenshot.

Not impressed. I will stick with DD-WRT. While you may think it has deficiencies, at least *I* can help keep it getting better. _________________ E3000 22200M KongVPN K26

I had NO problems hooking up my 1 TB NTFS drive to My RT-N16 and having it recognized and R/W. Fraters script took care of it perfectly.
You just have to make sure you umount the /mnt drive that is already there before you do so _________________ Optware, the Right Way

i have a linksys wrt-610n v2 with DD WRT build 14311 Mega
I am trying to achieve what i see as a basic task, yet it has become so annoyingly overcomplicated, i am considering reverting to linksys firmware.
The firmware looks to have a million options all of which look pretty useless to me, yet a simple drive mount and i gotta jump through hoops? it is no suprise linux is not more used commercially.... as i know from having linux on my laptop that it is just not user friendly at all.
Anyway, I have read everything in this thead, and still getting nowhere
i need to mount an ntfs drive, so it can be used over my network by all clients and accessible in windows 7 without having to use 3rd party software, is this possible? if not please save me from this and tell me and i will get shot of dd wrt.
Here is where i am so far,
i have enabled all the usb options, and get the same output that someone else had here, along the lines of Status: Not mounted - Unsupported file system or disk not formated
i followed the link to optware, and then tried some things here such as..
1) choose opt as my mounmt point..
2) Telnet into the router and issued the command 'Mount' which produces the following
root@DD-WRT:~# mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on / type squashfs (ro)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
ramfs on /tmp type ramfs (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
devpts on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
which clearly is missing the usb drive, i assume due to the fact it said it wasn't mounted.
So, more reading, i learn i have k24 so think ok i need this ntfs-3g, so i try to install that.

so, i try ipkg update
and nothing happens....... just like if i were to press enter without typing anything at all,.... nice and helpful!!
btw, i tested ping yahoo.com so i have internet access from telnet..
also, if i try service.. anything i get -sh: service: not found
What on earth do i have to do to get this working? this feels more of a downgrade than upgrade, i have lost features i need, and gained a host of features i may never use...
i am actually amazed i don't need to run things in the command just to get it to give me internet..
Thanks for reading, and sorry for the mini rant, it is just so frustrating
