Trouble backing up to/from Win7 machines
i have a readynas PRO that has been working fine for quite some time. the environment was mostly winxp machines and one win2000 box, and i could read and write to each from the readynas. i have ...
Looks like the OP has gone to bed, but I have exactly the same problem.
My NAS is an ULTRA6 Radiator:-
Hostname: ULTRA6
Model: ReadyNAS Ultra 6 [X-RAID2]
Serial: 2EE20ARV00361
Firmware: RAIDiator 4.2.15
Memory: 1024 MB [DDR2]
IPv4 address: 1: 192.168.1.2
IPv4 address: 2: 192.168.1.3
Volume C: Online, X-RAID2, 6 disks, 13% of 9250 GB used
The Windows 7 PC I am trying to connect to is identified on the network as HPA5320UK with an IP 192.168.1.14. The windows Firewall is turned off (both Home and Public).
Whether I use Timestamp or Archive, put either HPA5320UK or 192.168.1.14 in Host, put any public folder in path (using sharename or full path as per OP, the browse button remains greyed out and with any number of different admin passwords I always get the same error:-
e.g "Error connecting to //192.168.1.14/Users" or "Error connecting to //HPA5320UK/Users".
Whatever the combination of Host and Path, it is always "Error connecting to" and the Browse button remains greyed out. Basically exactly as per the OP.
As this seems specific to Windows 7 (I have Ultimate), do you think it could be connected to Homegroup?
