Error connecting to. Win 7 starter issues ?
Is there a bug in the front view software? There are so many threads with people being unable to get the test connection to work and just being left wih error connecting to. Its obviously not just...

Yes, I can connect to all Windows shares via all PC's in the house. That has never been issue. (Second Copy has been performing these tasks for me ages now, with no problems. I just thought, given that it's supposed to be able to do it, I'd let Frontview run the tasks, instead of using a third party app.)
This is a screengrab of the error. I've tried linking to three separate W7 PC's in the house, but get the same error no matter which PC, or whether I use Host name, ip and whatever share is available on that particular PC.
