Error 5004 when trying to access hard-wired NAS

It's been quite a while since I tried to access my second NAS, called MyBookWorld. I could not even ping it successfully until I rebooted it by unplugging its power cord, waiting 30 seconds, and plugging in again. After a few minutes I was able to access it from Abrowser, but only as admin. I even refreshed my username/password. I'm running Trisquel 7 on a Lenovo T420 with 4GB of RAM and a ThinkPenguin WiFi dongle.

When I try to access MyBookWorld (the NAS) using Places...Network, I can see that MyBookWorld is part of my network, and I can now ping it successfully, but a 5004 error is returned when I try to access it either as admin or as username. If I enter the incorrect password, I'm kicked out without any error message.

In the LinuxMint forum, I found this syntax:
> sudo mount -t cifs -o username=user,password=urPassword,uid=1000,nounix //wdbookip/sharename /media/mywdbook

Which I've attempted to translate to my local setup:
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=amenex,password=fictitious,uid=1000,nounix 192.168.1.7 /media/mybookworld

But the system doesn't like the URL for MyBookWorld (192.168.1.7); I've tried http://192.168.1.7/, ftp://192.168.1.7.local and other permutations. I do have /media/mybookworld in place OK, though. Of course, my password isn't really "fictitious."

I went on to try this:
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=amenex,password=fictitious,uid=1000,nounix //192.168.1.7/MyBookWorld/ /media/mybookworld

The reply was:
> Retrying with upper case share name
> mount error(6): No such device or address

From admin access to MyBookWorld, the root folder seems to be DataVolume:
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=amenex,password=fictitious,uid=1000,nounix //192.168.1.7/DataVolume/ /media/mybookworld

But the reply still was:
Retrying with upper case share name
mount error(6): No such device or address

Reading the cifs man page ... too much information.

As a reality check, I accessed my other NAS thusly:
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=george,password=souititcif,uid=1000,nounix //192.168.1.8/Share/ /media/buffalolinkstation

And that syntax works fine; I can see all the contents of the Buffalo NAS's Share folder OK.

What's amiss with the MyBookWorld network access ?

Answering my own question.

I changed the workgroup name while logged in as admin in MyBookWorld, and now Network access works fine from the desktop, but still there is no access using Terminal.

Therefore, I'm not frozen out from the MyBookWorld NAS anymore, but Terminal remains a quandary.
