conradforever Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I'm trying to get my system. (HC300. SR-250, lights.) to play back music from my computer over the network. I went under "system design", then under "my drivers", then added "Network File Storage driver" and set the location to where my music was on the computer and tried to conect, but i got a message saying "Unable to connect to the network share, Please verify the share information is correct". I have that folder shared in my computer settings and allowed the composer for my firewall. Any ideas? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 What OS is on the PC and what anti virus software are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Composer is *not* connecting to the share.Director connects to the share, so you have to open a hole in the firewall for your controller.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILoveC4 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 It was a bitch getting mine to do a share from Windows 7...so much so that I bagged it and bought a NAS.I finally got it to work, but it wasn't easy finding the settings. I documented it in a thread here, but don't have time to find it now...it was in the troubleshooting section.I would imagine Zone Alarm is probably creating a problem too...Like I said, good luck. I hope you get it working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjeff Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 What version of Windows 7? Each version has a different way of doing share permissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRedhead Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I don't recommend wasting time trying to crack the windows 7 puzzle...I have been through all the settings 6 ways from Sunday on two different windows 7 systems, and had no luck... I went with a Lacie Network Space 2 NAS and will never look back. 1TB for $220 (CAD) and it works perfect.cheers,Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsmolo Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I wish I knew what I did but it worked the first time when I've set up share from windows7, no trics. I quess I don't have 10 firewalls and other cr*** installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I didn't have any firewalls installed, pulled it out of the box and hooked it up...stock HP computer. The only program installed was AVG Free, Composer, MS Office and Adobe CS4.At any rate, I got it to work...after I had ordered a NAS. NAS is the way to go anyways, like TRedhead suggested. I bought the ReadyNAS NV+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zazel1 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I have a ReadyNas NV+ and I am trying to get access to my stored mp3's. I am connected but when I hit scan nothing happens. The Nas is in the system design and connected as the status is online. When I try to add the Itunes folder it scans them and seems to want to copy the files from some Y drive to the ip location of my Nas. Does this info make sense and any idea how to fix this. Is it really trying to copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Where is the music currently stored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigrzeye Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I have an HC300 with a USB attached hard drive with about 400 cd's worth of mp3's on it. It is a Western Digital My Book edition USB hard drive with external power supply. Works great. I can connect to the My Book from any of my computers running, Windows7, Vista, or XP, to add music or files to share through out the network including the HC300 and C4.

davevt98 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I am in the same situation. I bought a NAS. How should it be connected to the network - in the router, switch or direct connection with the HC300? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 NAS should be connected to your network switch and running a static IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akg4y Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Well it could be connected to either the router or the switch (shouldnt make a huge difference for the most part, but if you have a free spot on the router I would connect it there unless your switch is of higher quality and you have your main media endpoints on the switch as well).

zazel1 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Music is stored on the NAS, in a share named media. Share has correct permissions, as I can access it from any computer. NAS is connected directly to my Router. I could attach it to a near by switch if it would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akg4y Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I would make sure the NAS directory you are trying to scan is specified in the project, otherwise it doesnt know what directory to search in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Yeah, make sure the NFS is setup properly (Network File Share). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zazel1 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 FYI if I try to connect with another computer on my network which has all the music imported in the itunes (music still on NAS) it seems to allow me to scan and SOME of the music. I would rather though it "look" directly to the NAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
