Possibly related, I have since re-enabled the NFS protocol that I disabled on initial setup as I have no Linux boxes - the error messages on the backups has not changed even with newly created jobs (still default to CIFS). Backup jobs using NFS from an attached NTFS USB drive to the NAS C: drive or another USB (NTFS or EXT3) works fine.
Is there a potential firewall situation here as I have no trouble accessing the NAS from the PC but the NAS can't initiate access to any PC's (Both PCs are Windows Vista with McAfee firewall). I can log into the C: drive from the other PC without problem.
Thoughts? Should I log an official support call or my direct phone #?
