Unable to drag files from ReadyNas back onto XP
OK forgive me - I'm pretty new to this and not as technically adept as most people on this forum!
I have a ReadyNas Duo and have been happily ripping my CDs to a music folder and then streaming them to my Squeezebox via my wireless router - good news is that it works fine (most of the time).
However I have noticed that some of the mp3 tagging could do with tidying up and have been using MP3tag to do this - it works fine for files stored on my PC but just hangs when I try and edit files already saved on my ReadyNas. I though that I would try and drag the files from ReadyNas back onto my PC in windows explorer (XP), edit them there and then return them but I can't do this either (again the PC just hangs). I have noticed that when I try and do this I am getting hundreds if not thousands of TCP retransmits. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks, Peter

- TCP retransmits suggest a network problem. If you could describe your setup more it might be possible to suggest some options
FYI: I have successfully used MP3Tag with my media stored directly on my NAS - although it is an Ultra, not Duo. But this again suggests something specific to your setup rather than an issue with MP3Tag for instance - I have ReadyNas Duo (4.1.7) with Cat5e patch to BT Homehub 3 router. The PC running XP is connected vias Cat 6 into the same router. The squeezebox connects wirelessly to the router.
I don't think its necessarily a physical network problem but I wonder if its something to do with permissions or sharing? I can drop files from my PC onto the ReadyNas fine but I can't seem to do it in the other direction. The PC connection to the homehub also works fine for Internet access. I suspect a setting needs to be changed but I don't really understand what it all means! I guess it could even be a PC config? - Permissions issues would not cause TCP retransmits. Also, a permissions issue would be immediately reported as such
The best way to diagnose this is to directly connect your PC to the Duo via a single ethernet cable and retest. If the problem persists we have ruled out anything related to the Homehub though you should first replace the cable to verify that is not the cause (your symptoms are not incompatible with a bad cable)
If a direct connect with a known good cable doesn't resolve the issue then we can conclude you likely have an issue with either your PC or the Duo
