Hey everyone, new guy here. But wanting to check in here. Figure this might be a good place to start. Here at work we've got a Buffalo TeraStation Pro. Specific model is TS-RHTGL/R5
So the deal is we've had this thing for a few years. I began working here in late 2010, so they've been here at least that long. Everything seems to mostly work great. The way it's set up is that these basically act like file servers for us. So users get their own folders which are shared to them with permissions locking others out and life is good.
Anyway I recently installed a new Windows 7 PC with an i5 processor, 4 gb of ram, 500gb or 1TB hard drive, and Office 2010. She reports that she's getting an error message 3-5 times per day telling her "Network Busy, Try Again later."
After she reported it at least one other user said they get the same message, again Windows 7, pentium dual core, 4 gb of ram, office 2010.
My assumption is that this was not a problem until Windows 7 because it was never reported when almost everyone ran Windows XP Pro. That said, they never reported this issue to me until a few users maybe 5-8 had Windows 7, because they thought the Network was actually busy. Anyone have any ideas? I could be wrong but don't think it's the network because have about 100 or a little more people that work in the building, each grouped up by division, and almost no issues other than this message.
That said, we had another one of these where a user had it almost to himself, maybe shared one with 5 people. And had Windows 7 and would get network lag and issues. When we'd hook a vista or prior system to his network cable and attempt to replicate issues, performance was great.
Do I need to update firmware or is there a setting in Windows 7 that I should adjust?
Current firmware is version 1.33.
