The same thing is happening to me...I was hoping to find some answers too!

Did you ever find an answer to your question? I am having the same problem.

Ditto. Everybody on Win 7 64 bit?

Have it "kind of" working.
Shares a folder I created no problem, but doesn't give access to my Pogoplug as P: drive. (what the old software did)
Pogoplug icon is pink, but "not logged in", and no idea how to "log in".
Web interface working fine.
EDIT - got P: drive back by rightclicking notification icon and "show Pogoplug drives" - D'oh

Same issue here. Win7 64 bit, install completed successfully, systray icon is present, but clicking preferences option or launching the wizard via the start menu both result in the error message "Pogoplug is unable to connect to the network. Click the button below and then open the pogoplug settings in the control panel in a few minutes to try again."

Launching the pogoplug control panel results in the same error.

Of note, the pogoplug virtual NIC created at install time is configured with an IP of 10.67.101.1, and /24 subnet mask, no gateway and no DNS servers. No way to tell if this is expected or not. This is not my internal LAN subnet, however this is a virtual NIC, so it could easily be creating a virtual network within my LAN to attempt to locate/communicate with other pogoplug software installs, etc.

It also create 5 routes on my laptop as well -- 4 associated with this 10.67.101/24 network it created, along with one for zeroconf/bonjour for the virtual interface.

Just tried the Linux version (last updated 2 years ago??) on Fedora 14. That tanked due to the SSL chain not being properly seeded, so the client thinks one or more certs in the signing chain is self-signed so it refuses to attempt to launch.

Thus far not impressed at all. :-/

I get the same error:

"Pogoplug is unable to connect to the network. Click the button below and then open the pogoplug settings in the control panel in a few minutes to try again."

Un- and Re- installed in various combinations: no luck. Running 32-bit Vista. Really need to back up today. Will have to take drive from pogoplug and use via USB.

Annoying.

I finally was able to get mine working, but only after completely disabling my network's transparent proxy. Support was no help, as they could not give me enough technical information for troubleshooting purposes. Also, they could not even begin to explain why it worked last week, and then all of a sudden did not, even though I had made no changes to my network. It is working great, but I hate the fact that my proxy security is not in place. I guess I will have to settle for my network/local firewall for now, but Pogoplug is now working as it should.

No proxy running!!!!!!!!!

I have given up for now - wasted money on this one.

Still my pogoplug works that god....

Here is the response I got from support. The first option resolved the problem for me:

Please try following:

1. Shutdown the Pogoplug Drive Software.
2. Delete all files (specifically hbplug.cert and hbplug.key) from the following locations:

On Vista/Win 7:
System Drive:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Pogoplug
System Drive:\Users\\AppData\Local\Pogoplug

On XP:
System Drive:\Documents and Settings\Local Settings\Application Data\Pogoplug
System Drive:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Pogoplug

3. Restart your computer

If you are still facing these problems, please do as followed:

1. Shutdown the Pogoplug Drive Software.
2. Delete all logs from System Drive:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Pogoplug (Win 7/Vista) or
System Drive:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\Pogoplug (XP)
3.Run the attached reg script to increase the verbosity in the logs (You may be warned when running this but you safely click through all warnings).
4. Restart machine
5. Reproduce the issue you are facing.
6. Attach the logs from Drive:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Pogoplug (Win 7/Vista) or System Drive:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\Pogoplug (XP)

I'm having the same problem on my Win 7 Ultimate 64bit. Works fine on my Win 7 Home Premium 32bit Notebook. Pogoplug icon is black. When I right click and try to open the preferences I get

"Pogoplug is unable to connect to the network. Click the button below and then open the pogoplug settings in the control panel in a few minutes to try again."
Tried uninstalling an re-installing and deleting the files in the locations here as stated above:

System Drive:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Pogoplug
System Drive:\Users\\AppData\Local\Pogoplug

Waiting on a solution.

I had this same problem and fixed it by...

--Uninstall the current version

--Reboot

--Download older version from...

--Install

I am running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit

I came to the conclusion that the ISP/Router is the problem. Te connection is being blocked. Therefor we cannot connect to the pogoplug-server. Our ISP offered our landlord to force an internet filter against violence and such. Pogoplug is probably connecting to a server that contains blacklisted words or even blacklisted IP's/DNS-names.
