Windows 7 "Unable to access remote path..." Trouble
I have been using Backup on a ReadyNSA Duo to copy files from Vista machines for a while now without any problems. I added a Windows 7 laptop to my network, and set a similar backup (using the wired LAN address)(Window/NAS(Timestamp). The host is the laptop's IP address; Path =Path;logon & password are copied from the laptop user account from which I'm trying to backup. BUT... I consistantly get the error "Unable to access remote path //192.168.168.228/Users/Louis/Documents." I'm Running radiator 4.1.7. My Vista machines see the Windows 7 laptop over the network and can access its files. For what it's worth, the laptop can access the ReadyNas I think I've tried almost everything. I need help! Any ideas out there?

Thank you for the suggestion. Yes. I opened a command window on the Vista machine and typed "pushd \\102.168.168.228\Users\Louis. I then typed a text file from this directory on the Vista machine.

Sorry about the typo in the ip. I actually did use \\192.168.168.228\User\Louis\Documents to successfully access files from the Vista machine.
For some reason now the ReadyNas is now reporting a "Error connecting to \\192.168.168.228\User\Louis\Documents" instead of the "access error".
Two more peices of information: 1) the win 7 laptop can access the shares on the NAS and 2) at some point in the past (maybe six months ago?) the win 7 backup job worked at least once.
I'm really at wits end here! I can't imagine why, but do I need to run Raidar on the Windows 7 laptop? I'm grasping at straws.

😄 vuilverwerking 😄 You're the man! That did the trick. Clearly I failed to appreciate the differences between 7 and Vista and need to study up while keeping my fingers crossed that this fix continues to work.
