I have a Freecom network drive 500 GB which I use for backups over the network. However, it seems to go offline and has to be turned off and turned back on. Any ideas how to fix this?
The drive is: Freecom-Network-Hard-Drive-FND-Network-Attached-Storage-NAS-500-GB
(sorry only link i could find)
It's got the most up-to-date firmware as well.
What is your local network architecture? Does it happen when the drive is directly connected to the computer? Is there any error to be found somewhere in some error log? – harrymc – 2013-05-03T08:29:58.277
@harrymc Everyone runs through a hub on a windows based network. They access the drive via network name (ie: \drivename) – David – 2013-05-03T12:28:25.633
1You had better give us much more info than that. This post is too vague for us to give a meaningful answer. There are my above other questions, plus info if there is any pattern to these disconnections, network architecture, router/hubs make, Event Viewer etc. – harrymc – 2013-05-03T13:22:36.407
@harrymc thats the problem, I don't have any further information. No pattern, no nothing. Tips on troubleshooting this problem? – David – 2013-05-08T14:54:14.110
When it goes off, is it so for all computers ? – harrymc – 2013-05-08T15:20:37.117
@harrymc yes. I've also turned off the 'sleep' mode. – David – 2013-05-09T09:09:01.493
