Hi revluz4,

You may also want to use the RAIDar 4.3.8 and click the "Browse" button to access your files locally. In the future, you may want to map the shares on your PC for ease of access.

I installed RaidAR 4.3.8 and it can see the Duo with no problems. When I use the browse button, nothing happens for about a minute and the error message "Windows can not find \\192.168.1.66. the error code returned is 0x80070035.

Does the Duo have to be in the same Homegroup as the PC?

Thanks

  No, but it should be assigned to the same workgroup (which is different from the homegroup).

    Hello revluz4,
    
    You might also want to check if CIFS is enabled in the admin page/FrontView.
