@Phanlix I guess you want to mount it so it can be accessed. In that case you need to know what type of protocol its using. Im going to make a guess and say samba.
In that case you need to search for samba documentation for your distro, funny right? Many steps.. but not complex.
I believe you said you were using Fedora, then once again Im guessing, you are using Gnome.
Gnome means Nautilus is your file explorer's name.
The following link is about how to add it on Nautilus, for the smbclient package you should search whats the Fedora equivalent.

Edit: Fedora packages added, can't confirm sorry
dnf install samba samba-common samba-client

Funny enough I've been googling for hours and came across half a dozen tutorials on this and none have worked I'll let you know if this does
@Phanlix Hope it does ^^
And don't get frustrated, take this as a way to learn new things. You always have Windows or MacOS, but at least give Linux a try, there are some incredible people who make guides from which you can learn lots of things in the Linux community.
The Arch Wiki is a very good source, even if its for Arch you can apply some of its knowledge to other distros
Lol it didn't work.
I'm done. Linux is trash. Can't even do something out of the box that windows has been doing since windows 2000.
I can get this working on Mac, windows and android. Linux has no excuses
@Phanlix Well thats sad. Probably if you could show the error someone more experienced than me in gnome or fedora could help.
Can I recommend you to switch to another distro ( for what I just read from other user, PopOS seems to be good for newbies ) or DE? KDE is a DE which look very similar to Windows and I had 0 problem mounting my samba and nfs drives.
Holy crap I got it to work. smbv1 is not enabled by default on Linux.
Once I went through the tutorial and added
client min protocol = NT1 server min protocol = NT1
to smb.conf, it worked and I could connect!
Sadly it still wouldn't accept my username and password, but I set it to allow anon login and that's working 100% right now. So... just need to figure out why it won't accept username and password. Moment of truth comes when I test VLC again too.
@Phanlix YAY!! So happy you finally managed to get it working
Thanks lol, stream is working great too, much better than Fedora. Way less choppy and it doesn't crash when you seek on VLC, so Pop!OS is clearly the superior distro here.
I do need to figure out the login eventually. I need read/write access and as anon I can't write, but I'll come back to that. I'm getting a ton of stuff set up now.
I'm probably going to end back up on windows.
Did download PopOS though, it already beats the hell out of Fedora because off the rip Nvidia just works.
However I still cannot connect to my network drive. I can see it fine in +other locations, but when I open it it says "unable to access location: failed to mount windows share: software caused connection abort"
