Accessing USB storage attached to network router

[Rodolfo Medina <rodolfo.medina@gmail.com>]

I'm revisiting now this old thread in which I solved my problem...  Now I have
the problem again with my new router Zyxel VMG8823-B50B.  I can access the USB
stick via Nautilus:

 $ nautilus smb://192.168.1.1

but don't manage to mount the USB stick.  In /etc/fstab I have:

 //192.168.1.1/mnt/usb1_sda1	/mnt/shared cifs rw,user,noauto 0 0

but it asks for password and fails:

$ mount /mnt/shared/
Password for rodolfo@//192.168.1.1/mnt/usb1_sda1:  ************
mount error(112): Host is down
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

Please help whoever can.

Thanks,

Rodolfo
