The hostname cannot be found in a Linux-based Boot Environment (BE)

Symptom

In a Linux-based Boot Environment (BE), the list might not appear when selecting "Utilities — Mount Network Folder." Additionally, even if an IP address is specified, the host might not be found.

Cause

This function retrieves the hostname using the "nmblookup" command. If the hostname isn't found via "nmblookup," it won't appear in the list. To check if the function works, run the command in the terminal. If there's no result, the function won't work.  

# nmblookup -A <NAS IP address>

Workaround

Click “Open Terminal” from the Console — Utilities.
Execute the mount command.

# mount -t cifs //<ip>/<Shared Folder> /mnt -o user=<User Name>,password=<Password>
