In the past few days I've developed a problem with a connection between my XP PC and the WHS. I have uninstalled the software and reinstalled it twice, I have uninstalled all recent updates. I have set it up to backup my c and D drive. The only hardware
change has been to my router, from a Linksys to a D-Link (my setup is the D-Link is my router for the XP and Win7 PCs with a Linksys switch in another room connecting the WHS and a NDAS to the router).
I can access the WHS HD files through the Windows Explorer just like any other file but it will not make a daily backup of my C or D drive. It will stay in "backup in progress for over 10 minutes before finally giving up.
I have 2 fail details as: "The network connection between the computer and the server was lost. No reconnection within tmeout period". And I have 8 fail details as: "The computer failed to take snapshot of the volume for backup". And when it finally
gives up it tells me to run a chkdsk which I have run. There were some errors that were corrected.
I get the same results if I just try to backup just the C alone or D alone, I even connected the Linksys router back to the WHS and the XP PC and it still will not backup.
If it is my router how come I can see my WHS files on the XP PC but it cannot backup? If the problem is between the router and the WHS for backing up, where should I look within the router setup? I used some of the original router's setting in
the new router but since they are of different manufacturers so the wording and specs are very different.
