Hi NicBald,

Glad you found us here.

On the Windows File Sharing setup on the pogoplug webpage, did you set the access permission to Read and write or Read only. The Catcher needs both read and write.

NicBald said: Yes, it has been set to read and write.

That would have been to simple. :)

What error message does it give you and when?

Network share or NAS device error messages on SlingCatcher:

Here are the error messages that you may see on SlingCatcher and what they mean.

While trying to connect to a network drive:

• Incorrect user name or password!
  (Enter the correct user name or password.)
• Invalid network share name.
  (Check the URL for your NAS or your network share to make sure that it’s correct.)
• Read-only network drives are not supported.
  (You must have set up specific permissions on the share that allow for read/write access. Please refer to the Microsoft and Apple sites for information on sharing.)
• No network connection.
  (Double-check to make sure that SlingCatcher has a network connection. The red Network light on the front of your SlingCatcher must be on.)

Are you familiar with SSH and know how to log into the Pogoplug using something like PuTTY or the like? Maybe you can grab your smb.conf file and post it here.

Ok, after writing my previous reply it was working for a day again, but now it's not working once again. I'm confident the share drive path is correct because the slingcatcher allowed me to add the path without any issue, it just seems to work intermittently though. Is it possible the dockstar/hdd goes into some sort of sleep mode that could cause this?
