ReadyNAS remote and windows XP
Hi everyone Have tried installing latest version of ReadyNAS Remote, (1.6.5.19), on two separate PC's running XP Professional SP3. In each case Leaf Adapter failed to acquire an IP address and I go...
I'm having this same issue on WinXP Pro SP3; no WAN Remote access but local Workgroup path to NAS is fine. I even shut off the Windows Firewall thinking is was blocking something. I also tried setting Leaf to 5.0.0.3 as stated in manual_config_adapter.pdf. No effect. Leaf still goes to DHCP enabled with no IP assigned and Remote cannot log in with connection error regarding connection to server could not be established due to proxy server (of which there is none).
RADar sees the NAS, and I can access from windows explorer local Workgroup network path, but no joy with on WAN Remote application on Win XP Pro.
I also have no problem with either Remote application or local Workgroup network path on my Corporate Win7Pro laptop on same home network. On Win7 Pro Leaf does get an IP address 5.178.xxx.xxx
Quite frustrating.
