I am evaluating One Care for use with my home network and the two PCs on it. One is a regular PC, the other is a laptop. I have installed OneCare on the PC only a few days ago and am trying to set up the backup function (mainly because it keeps warning me that it isnt set up). The network is a private NAT that has a server running OpenBSD 4.1 as the network gateway for both IPv4 and IPv6. I also have Samba running on the server and it has a dedicated drive for shared file storage and I just allocated 100GB for backup space on it. The shares both work fine, I can connect them from Windows XP as drives, and can browse them on the network. I am NOT using a domain setup, it is just peer to peer networking.
However, when I try to set up one care to back up to the network share I just created for it,it keeps saying either "There was a problem connecting to the network share" or "Network share not found". I have tried mapping it to a network drive and telling it to back up to the drive itself. I have tried using symbolic names for the server and its IP address, ie. \\192.168.231.1\cbenesch_backup or \\maricopacomputer\cbenesch_backup and nothing seems to work. It asks me for a user name and password each time, and I provide the same one I use to connect the drives initially. It hangs for a minutes then comes back with the error.
I guess if I could get a more descriptive message about what the problem is, since I know the computer sees the share, it works fine in Windows Explorer. Or if there is a way to manage the backup from somwhere else and get OneCare to stop reminding me about it.
