I mean how can I, for example, tell it to look at the contents of my Stora NAS? In Windows I'd do: \\stora
Depends, if your NAS is SAMBA compatible you could install Samba on your AmigaOS. Window Shares (therefore a shared folder) can be acessed via Samba, however (up to Windows XP).

Also, for some reason, RDesktopGUI says: ERROR: windowsbox: unable to resolve host
well, donnot know about this, but I always use static IPs, when Amiga is involved in a Network. Make sure - that you use IP Adress of your windowsbox as host - that remotedesktop connections are allowed from Windows side (but I think that's not your problem...)
Think "ping" command was in SDK, or was there one in Genesis or some other TCP Stack ?
I am not a network expert, so this is just what I would try first/what I did on my machine.
I have connected my AOneXE to my Network through Samba and it works great (once all the little humps are ironed out) and can access (read/write) my NAS. I have all of my Multimedia stuff sitting there, so more room for programs on the miggy

Samba is a SMB server. You cannot connect to another server with a server application. You need a SMB client to connect to your NAS. SMB clients for AmigaOS are for example SMB-Connect or SMBFS. The latter exists OS4-native.
Note that writing through SMBFS (i.e. writing files to the NAS) is very slow with our current SMBFS port. I find it useful mostly for smaller/few files.

Oh yes, thanks for reminding me, i do have the latest version 1.74 from there
@nbache
The speed is ok with this version especially if one works with LAN...beats the speed of writing to USB

All these newer amiga projects that exist on Sourceforge should all be transferred to OS4Depot regardless of who was the original 'submitter'. As long as the original submitter did not use a passphrase you should just be able to 'Replace' the current submission. Otherwise I'd speak to Origin, better having a 2009 version than a 2005 version surely its logical.
Here is a list, smbfs not on it so must be more somewhere:

Well, I also use 1.74, and I definitely do not agree that the writing speed is okay. An USB 2.0 stick is a much faster way for me to move e.g. digicam pictures from my Amiga to my wife's PC. Then if we want them on the NAS, we can write them from there.
I just made a test to make sure I wasn't blowing hot air here:
I copied a directory containing 62 scaled-down digicam JPGs with a total size of 14776837 bytes. First using SMBFS 1.74 to my NAS, this took 9 minutes 33 seconds. Then to a USB stick connected via a hub to my USB2.0 PCI card, this took 10 seconds. QED.

To add the last bit of information i was missing :-/
I too was using a PC to transfer many of the files to the NAS (i actually plugged in the HD from the NAS to the PC to do the transfer, but that was before upd3. upd2 and below kept corrupting my files on the copy process.
Now i can copy pretty quickly to/from the NAS (i really need to do a benchmark over the network )

So far I have not managed to get samba working with lacie network drive. But who cares (it's sluggish anyway), FTP seems to work. For quick test ftp://ipadressofthedrive should work.
Then downloaded pftp from the depot ...
