Are you trying to mount your "swap" folder on your PC?

I've not heard of swap. You can mount /var on a PC hard drive.

Can you explain more?
 
Yes the swap is used on the dreambox but won´t work on a 500.
 
Sorry borsalino1 but you are waisting your time. There is no point in attemting to set up a swap partition on a network drive.

The whole idea of a swap file or partition is to make more memory space available. An application or data can be loaded into memory then stored on the swap partition while not in use.

Doing this over a network would mean you could only access it at 100Mbits per second (at the very best). This is much too slow to be of any use, In fact it would probably slow things down. :)
