Ya. I still don’t understand why accessing Connectshares through the menu didn’t work but accessing through the Control center did. In previous versions of Antix I never had this issue. Now everything works fine. When I reboot the computer my shares are automatically mounted. It’s great when you work through something and finally “get” it.
Before you can mount a remote share with any app (including Connectshares) you need let the app know which shares to mount. That can be done in various ways. For Connectshares you do it by putting the information into the connectshare.conf file in the way outlined by dolphin_oracle.
Your first attempt to mount a share via the main antiX menu was done before you had put the information into connectshares.conf, so you received the message advising you about the incomplete configuration.
After you had used the Control Centre→Shares→Configure Connectshares, it knew which shares to mount, hence it now does it successfully.
In simple terms you were doing it in the wrong order i.e. trying to mount a share before specifying which share to mount.
