Buffalo Terrastation Live
backstory -
I have a POS Buffalo Terrastation Live nas. I want to hang it off the network and have my backup software use it as a DBB device. This NAS doesn't support AD. The software that comes with it only runs on XP. The manufacturer states in a FAQ on their website that: "All Buffalo Devices are compatible with Windows Server 2003. The www.buffalotech.com does not list this operating system because software that comes with Buffalo Technologies devices will not run on servers" the issue - I have this nas on a vlan that only the 2k3 ADC/DNS server, the 2k3 backup server and my XP client can access via second NICs in the systems. The nas is not capable of being added to a domain (yeah, WFW 3.11 anyone?). All 3 systems can access the nas's web interface. All 3 systems can ping the nas. Only the XP system can access the shares on the nas. The 2k3 servers can't - not even if I put "\\hostname \share" in the address bar. It comes back saying "windows cannot find \\hostname\share. check the spelling....." even if I put in the IP address. What am I overlooking? Is it a domain vs workgroup issue maybe? It seems it has to be a setting on the 2k3 servers that Is not turned on or something. any assistance would be greatly appreciated. My DNS 'appears' to be set up correctly also. Our preferred final solution is to hang this directly off the 2k3 backup server via cat5/ second nic. Rob |

I can get it to work in a test environment I built last week, but not on this box. I tracked down a few items in the local group policy that didn't match-up and was actually able to get the terrastation to replicate teh error on the test network, but when I changed those settings on the operational server, I still get the error. So it's back to square one on this today. I'll double-check the firewall setting to be sure. |

Rob- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - no WINS. But I did fix it this morning. We run a security overlay on our domain that sets "Microsoft Network Client: Digitally sign communications (always)" to enabled (under local computer policy- computer configuration -Windows settings-Security settings-Local policies-Security options). That's what was messing everything up. I disabled that setting, rebooted, and now the Terrastation is running off the backup servers second Gig-E Nic just like I wanted it to with none of the other domain systems able to access the Terrastation at all. thanks for the support and Ideas. Turns out all i needed was time and patience (and a test network). regards, Rob. |

Regardless of what the doc says default password should be, and regardless of the procedures to reset to factory defaults, the web GUI never let me in... What's next, I wonder. NetGear maybe |
