	where "share_name" is the share that you defined when setting up the LinkStation. At the very least, you can use the "public" username with no password as default by LinkStation. But it is better to configure the LinkStation with a unique username and strong password and to input that information in the Device Data section as per above. If you leave "Mount Point(string)" blank, LinuxMCE will mount the share on /mnt/<description_device#> where description is what you input in step 6 above.		where "share_name" is the share that you defined when setting up the LinkStation.

			==TroubleShooting==
			Please note that if you have existing media on your linkstation, you may need to move the media into the appropriate directories once it has been configured by linuxMCE.

			'''For Example'''
			Now, if you access the Buffalo Linkstation does it have a folder structure like this
			Public
			User1
			User2
			etc?

			If it does, move the media you want LMCE to see into the appropriate folder on the Linkstation (not on the Linux machine, those only contain shortcuts to the Linkstation).

			*Move music to public/data/audio
