How do i connect to a network with cifs

I'm looking to buy a Netgear NAS drive and I have an issue trying to figure out how I'm going to connect with it.
I have macs running 10.6 and 10.8 and according to the manufacturers the only way to connect is using the CIFs protocols.
Does anyone have experience and knowledge to share on this kind of set up and if this is the best way to set up a home NAS systems?
The other question I have is I read that a CIFs configured networks can only handle file sizes under 4gb, is this true?

Yes 4 GB is the limit for CIFS or SMB.
Once you know the IP use like...
smb://10.0.1.5
smb://192.168.1.3
cifs://10.0.1.5
cifs://192.168.1.3
I'd avoid a NAS drive despite the Rage, I'd opt for a Mac Fornatted external drive.

    how do i connect to the internet with my ipad?

    Did you turn WiFi on in the Settings App? If WiFi is turned on, your iPad should be able to see any WiFi networks that you can connect to and you should be able to tap on one of those, enter a password if needed and then tap the join button.
    I get the feeling that you know this and the problem needs further explanation so ... Can you explain in more detail?

    You cannot extend or repeat a non-apple router in an apple router..
    You must plug it in via ethernet and then setup roaming network (or if you like a completely separate network.. makes no difference from the TC point of view). TC is in bridge mode. That is router bridge not wireless bridge.. I gave the info on the other thread you are running.. very confusing when you ask in multiple threads.

    how do I connect to a TV with a HDMI input? Can I use a USB graphics adapter?

    Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion All-In-One MS235 Desktop Computer. Based on the specs, your computer doesn't appear to have a video output of any kind. A USB-to-video adapter such as the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39 will be required to connect your HDTV to your computer.

  • How do i connect my apple ID with itunes?

    I keep on trying to sign into itunes with my apple id, but it never works . How do I connect my apple ID with itunes?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. 
    You may find that when you try to do this, the password for your old ID it isn't accepted.  If this happens, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How do i create a little network with my i-mac and macbook

    how do i create a little network with my i-mac and macbook

    Hello:
    To give a sensible answer, a little more information is needed.
    I am guessing that you want to set up a wireless network as you have both a desktop and laptop.
    There are some pretty good tutorials/articles in the knowledge base articles.

  • TS1368 how do i connect to the network off my itunes? its saying theres no interenet connection even though there is

    how do i connect to the network off my itunes? its saying theres no interenet connection even though there is

    Yes and I do understand that! Thank you. There is no option to do an auto channel. Its 1-11 or 36, 40, 44 or 48. Then when it asks for a security its 40 bit WPA or 128 bit WPA. Unsure what that means? If I choose either of those Security options I have to have a certain number of characters for my password, and neither of those options fit the password that was given to me.
    Any suggestions?

    The JDBC-ODBC bridge wasn't recognizing any of the primary keys I had set up in SQL Server. After lots of head banging, here's the solution I came up with:
    1. Download the appropriate driver. SQL Server 2000 requires the SQL Server 2000 JDBC driver (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=07287B11-0502-461A-B138-2AA54BFDC03A&displaylang=en).
    SQL Server 2005 download: (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C47053EB-3B64-4794-950D-81E1EC91C1BA&displaylang=en)
    3. After installing, right-click on "Libraries" in your project, and choose "Add Library...". Next, give it a name (i.e. SQLServer2000), and select "Class Libraries".
    4. On the next screen, find the JAR files (should be in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\lib\), and add them under the "Classpath" tab. It will now be available under "Libraries" for future projects.
    5. You can now create a connection to a specific database under the "Services" tab (next to "Projects" and "Files" in the top left of the screen). Select "Microsoft Sql Server 2000 (Microsoft Driver)" and format the "Database URL" like this:
    jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver//YOURSERVER:1433;DatabaseName=YOURDATABASE
    1433 is the default port, though your DBA may have changed it.
    I posted a simpler version of this on the NetBeans.org FAQ page - they had the following title with no content on the answer page:
    "Cannot Select Tables From MsSql 2000 Because It Says No Primary Key Next To Each Table But The Tables DO Have A Primary Key. What Do I Do?"
