Hi!
Wild Bill, do you have Samba working on your Buffalo
WHR-G54S?
I did, but I really didn't have anything I needed it for, so I turned
it off.
I knew I took screenshots, so here we go:

Shares with the drive letter and a dollar sign after them are
administrative shares. You really aren't supposed to make a habit of
using them (although I have been known to). There are some others as
well, that seem to have internal use, such as IPC$ and PRINTER$.
If you want to make a share for your router's use, use the Sharing
properties page and click the "New Share" button on it. Type a name
for the new share.
Under properties>sharing on the NT box, it is I$. Since I'm
logging in as administrator, what does the $ mean?
Putting an $ at the end of *any* share name means the share name will
not show up in the Network Neighborhood or network browsing windows.
If you request it directly, however, the share will come right up. The
share exists but it is "hidden".
I can't get through to my 9595 with this machine. FireFox will
not load the page for the 9595, IP of 192.168.x.x...
Hmmm...are you pointing your web browser at the IP address that
represents your 9595 on the network?
If so, I wouldn't expect that you'd get anything. Firefox is looking
for something on TCP port 80, and unless your 9595 is running an HTTP
server, there won't be anything there.
How do you set up Samba FS Automount?
I did it like this, and I even sent you e-mail on the exciting
subject. If you don't have it, I'll dig it up when I get home. (You
will print a copy for future reference, and you will like doing it.
Now how's that for assertive? :-) )
Anyway, like this:
1. Enable Samba FS automount on the router.
2. Specify the IP address of the computer I want to use. Then input
the name of the share. Going purely from memory, I *think* that the
two entries go into the same field and are separated with a /.
3. Specify a user name and the computer name, again separated with
a /.
4. Apply the settings.
5. Telnet into DD-WRT and navigate to the /tmp directory. If
everything worked, your share is mounted in here. You can do an "ls"
at the command line to get a directory listing.
