Title: Unable to mount volume/folder on Mac
Post by: prowireless on December 07, 2011, 03:44:37 PM

Hi there

 

I have a Linkstation Pro and IMac running Lion 10.7.2

 

Every thing is working except NASNavigator - sort of.

 

I can open NAS Navagotor and it finds the device. Click on the unit and it asks me to select the volumes i want to mount.

I click on any of them and it comes back with the error "there was a problem connecting to the server xxxx. You do not have permission to access this server"

One of the folders has guest access enabled and that will not connect either.

 

Have tried another solution re click on Go>Connect to server and get the same problem.

 

Hope someone can help here.

prowireless,

 

I have the same setup as you and am also experiencing problems getting the NAS to mount as a Hard drive.  I can see it in my public folder, but keep getting an error message saying it doesn't exsist when I try to connect using the IP.

I have also had a problem with the Navigator software.  Everytime I try anything but the web configure it closes out on me with no warning.

Let me know if you ever figures out a fix.

Thanks

Do you have access restrictions enabled on any of the shares?

Hi, I had this same problem with the CH1.0V2 on Windows 7.  If I ran the NAS Navigator, the drive showed up in my Network page as a Media Device.  Attempts to map it from there failed.  I checked that printers, etc. sharing was all enabled - it was.  In another thread which I cannot find now, someone suggested looking in My Computer for "Map Network Drive", then clicking there and opening the dialog window.  The dialog suggests using drive "Z", which is fine.  Then to select the network drive, I had to enter "\\168.192.1.X\Main" (X is the internal IP address assigned to the Buffalo drive), then "finish".  It never finished, I eventually had to cancel, but the drive appeared immediately in my "My computer" window!

I verified success by using Adobe Acrobat Reader to open a file on the drive - it worked!
