Crashplan for Dummies, aka Step by Step :)

One thing to keep in mind that it is not enough to open putty - you need to log in as root into the NAS before you launch the client. Begin by logging in to the NAS with putty. First enter ps aux | grep BaseName You should get a long line that has /usr/bin/java in it, and also -Dapp=CrashPlanService Assuming you see that, then enter netstat -an | grep ':424.' You should see tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:4242 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:4243 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:4242 yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:zzzzz ESTABLISHED xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the NAS, yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is the IP address of the PC. ZZZZZ is a port number (shows up as 60249 on my system, but probably varies). BTW, did you install crashplan 3.0.3 (which was the current version when the guide was published) or version 3.2.1 (the current version).
