"Could not connect to tracker" message
Hi Guys,
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but I have been trying this for ages without success. I am plagued by this message: Could not connect to tracker. I cannot get Transmission (v2.42) to download anything. As far as I can tell the rest of my system seems to be ok. I can run Transmission on my computer without a problem (I don't try them both at the same time). I'd prefer to run it on the ReadyNAS Duo but am having this issue.
I have a Sparc based ReadyNAS Duo running RAIDiator 4.1.7 [1.00a043]. My computer is an Apple iMac running Lion (AKA Mac OS 10.7).
My settings.json file contains this:

- It might be that your NAS does not have access to your internet connection. This can be caused by faulty DHCP settings. If you go to Frontview->Network->Interfaces you can check those settings. In most cases, all the settings should be on automatic.
You can check if your NAS can connect to the internet by checking for updates by going to Frontview->System->Update and press the "check for updates" button on the remote-tab.
This is probably not related to your problem, but your download dir might give some problems. You've got"download-dir": "/media/BitTorrent/",
Which should probably be"download-dir": "/c/media/BitTorrent/",

Which shouldn't matter since '/media' generally is a symlink to '/c/media'
-Stefan- ah, I didn't know that, guess that only leaves my first comment then
- Hi Guys,
1st up let me say thank you to you both for your help. I tried each suggestion sequentially. I checked the NAS was able to connect to the Internet. I messed with the DHCP settings and set them to be automatically allocated. Nothing changed. Then I changed "download-dir": "/media/BitTorrent/", to "download-dir": "/c/media/BitTorrent/", and now it is working!
Go figure. :) Sometimes it is best not to ask "why". :) :) :)
Thanks again.
