Question

Image latptop with Norton Ghost to Neatgear ReadyNAS

Asked by: tcoates

I am trying to image a laptop using Ghost 14 to a ReadyNAS NV+ 1 TB storage device.  The readynas is set up using SHARE security and i can access the shares and directoryies easily fomr the browser, mapped drives etc.  no problmes  

Running Windows Vista

However, if i try to set up an image job form NG, i can not connect.  get E710041 unable to establish network connection   and EBAB03F1 password not correct

the share i am trying to write to on ReadyNAS is  called ghost_images  the full path is 192.168.1.66\ghost_images\dell    

the readynas system with security set as SHARE doesnt requre a password.  though i have tried it both ways.  

I have tried several login/pass combos ... including  guest/pass  which works fine to connct explorer or to map a drive to ReadyNAS ...

again, NO problme accessing the NAS with explorer ... can read, write, everthing .. very fast ..

I can not connect from my workstation either (XP-PRO) ... same issues ... and have has similar issues at work with the same setup  though at times i can connect and i cant figure out what i did to make it happen.  

I would appreciate any suggestions ....  

I am guessing someone is going suggest baggin Norton .. which i am ready to do .. but just dropped $70 on ghost .. of course, have lost 10x that in my time ...

Just for a test try setting permissions on the share to full permissions for 'everyone' as well setting the security under the security tab the same. That will help eliminate if there are issues with dropped packets/network card malfunctions

Also - make sure you have the latest updates for this version.

I still prefer to do this via a Ghost boot disk rather than inside windows.

I hope this helps !

I have tried .... though i am not sure how to do this in the ReadyNAS SHARED mode.  all you can do add or remove a password from the paricular share.  there are no other options i can see.  so i have tried  with and without a password.

though about changeing ReadyNAS to "USER" mode .. so each user has assigned passwords .. so Norton has some login info to communicate.   i have it feeling it cant cope with a network drive that has no security.

ReadyNAS and Ghost have the lasted OS and version already
