When I start ReadyNAS Remote I get error message "Application Initialization error" with buttons "Resatr Application" or "Quit".I have tried the following:* Reinstall the program.* XP computer at work (behind firewall)* Vista computer at work (behind firewall)* Vista computer using 3G-modem (not using firewall at work)* Running application as administrator on Vista computer using 3G-modemI have created a ReadyNAS Remote account. When I tell the application to send my userid I actually get 2 user IDs connected to the same e-mail adress, is this a problem? (Only 1 of these IDs are allowed access to the disk, but I never get this far).If I move the mouse over the icon it says "ReadyNas Remote (Offline) - Registering mode..." I do have access to internet. On my portable Vista computer I have turned off both the Windows firewall and McAfee firewall, still it fails in Step 1 on this page: http://www.readynas.com/?p=1435I never get to login state:

I got the same error when trying to start Remote at work. Haven't tried it at home yet.

I'm also seeing the same problem. Is Remote using SSH over port 443? Because that port's blocked here, with no chance of it being unblocked.Update: Got a new error dialog this time. "Initialization Failed. For more informatiom (sic), please visit http://www.readynas.com/remote. Error code: -3".

Remote does not use port 443 unless you specify in the setting.If you reboot your PC, are you still getting this error?

I've rebooted, done uninstalls and reinstalls (latest release, v1.1.9), and still get the same error. I've tried both automatic and manual proxy configuration, too.On a separate note, are there non-alphanumeric characters that Remote has problems with in passwords? I had to change from my original password (which the web site accepted) to a new one without any special characters because Remote kept telling me to enter my user ID and password even though the fields had been correctly filled.

HelloI experience similar behaviour and error messages.- installed ReadyNASRemote client on my PC (XP) as administrator - run and initialised client as administrator (could not start the client as 'user' becauser "error -3" was raised)Now I can only run the client as administrator, but not as user. I thinks something got terribly wrong (as I am also not able to connect to may NAS via remote).Are there any tricks I miss when I install the ReadyNasRemote-Client on PC configured with admin and non-admin accounts? How to run the client as non-admin user?Thanks for your helpBernhard

Hello,

I have a Readynas Ultra with latest firmware and latest Windows 7 Remote Client but after starting the client it says "Initialization failed; error code 3". The leaf networks adapter is "activated" and I see no errors. The NAS is correctly found with Raidar. I have installed the remote-Addon, have registered with a correct user on the readynas remote server and from NAS side everything should be finde.

Which drivers are not loaded on client side and is there a solution yet? I always start the client with administrator privileges.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks and regards

I found a "work around"

Im running win7 ult. 64bit
I tried the readynas remote and the leaf network installs but none of them worked (kept getting the initialization error).

So I was talking to a friend when he mentioned virtualbox.

So i have virtualbox(free) running xp pro, ran the readynas remote and it works fine!

So if you don't want to dual boot just run virtual box, make an xp pro virtual machine and install ready nas.

You can set up a folder that shares files between your virtual box and your real OS.

Windows 7:
Let's try to do this:
Find in system register,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\MaxNumFilters

and
1) increase current value for 1
2) reinstall ReadyNasRemote client.

Hello,
I am on a Windows7 PC and never get past the error code -3 on start up. I do not get a chance to enter user name or password. I was talking with support, and we tried the un-install re install, using leaf netowrks direct as well as readynas..but nothing has gotten me past the -3 startup error. any suggestions?
Mike

So I installed the same software on a second Windows7 PC, and it runs. Log in with user name password works. I have tried all the hints in the previous posts, but cannot get the Remote to run on the PC i need it to run on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
