I have prowled various threads related to this topic but haven't found one yet that solves my problem. I am running a home built server with an Athlon
II proc, 2 GB memory and 6 TB of storage. It has been working relatively problem free for about 18 months.
I cannot connect through WHS Connector from any of the 3 client computers (1 - XP, 2 - W7). However, I can easily navigate to the shares through explorer and I continue to get the reminder that Migrator is not running (I have it scheduled with a batch file).
I am pretty sure it is continuing to back up the clients because I am not getting warnings about failed back ups.
Here is what I have tried so far:
rebooting clients, server and router (individually and simultaneously in various combinations)
pinging server IP (static) and host name (both work fine)
running Connector Troubleshooter
reinstalling WHS Connector on each client (based on recommendation of Troubleshooter)
I do not have Remote Desktop enabled so I can't try getting in that way (that I know of).
Over the weekend I made a couple of changes that I suspect must have something to do with the problems I am experiencing
Added a new share folder - not duplicated. I have done this numerous times without incident.
Changed some settings in System Performance Options (using the Admin Console add-in) in an effort to overcome some stuttering/interruptions when streaming video - changed Processor Scheduling to Programs and added a new Paging
File in the D:[Data] partition.
Unchecked the Remote Desktop option in the Remote tab of System properties thinking it only related to RDP. I suspect this last one might be the culprit, but don't know how to resolve it without getting in through WHS Console.
