Have tried several fixes I found in the forum, but to no avail.
When I start the install process, I get MOST of the way through. It connects, asks for the computer ID, wake-up for backup preference, etc. Then is installs for about 5 minutes and gives me a "Unexpected error."
Afterword, it I go to my Win7 or Vista machine, I can see that the computer is listed in the dashboard but it is not online. It identifies the machine with the XP PC name, not the description I used during the connector install. If I try to install
again, it tells me a computer with this name is already installed and asks if I want to erase the old one. Still gives the same error.
I have tried several things in various combinations:
- Made sure the description in the install matches the XP computer name.
- Removed the computer from the server (using the dashboard from the win 7 machine)
- Turned off the windows and antivirus firewalls. Tried several combinations of off & on here. Did not try to manually enter the exceptions, since it didn't work with the firewalls turned off.
- Ran services.msc to make sure SSDP was started. It was listed as started.
Any ideas--or have a missed something already in the forum?
