Central backup fails RRS feed

    I have a problem getting Central Backup to complete.   Backing up from an XP laptop to a Vista 64 bit machine,  External Drive.

    At some point during the backup process (varies from a few minutes to more than 30 minutes) the Central machine starts toggling the network-type definition between a private network and a public network, making the central drive unavailable, resulting in Onecare2.0 cancelling the backup because it can no longer find the drive.  Anyone else having this problem, and do you have a solution?   Thank you.

    Is the Vista x64 machine connected wirelessly? One solution would be to connect it via wire back to the router. The other is to disable the automatic network check - however, this means you are at risk if you travel with that PC to another network.

    You're welcome. Which solution did you choose? A wire or disabling the automatic network detect?
