Here's a puzzler...
I just bought an Intel SS4000-E network storage device, populated it with 4 250 GByte drives and hooked it up to my network for backup. Configured as RAID 5, so I've nominally got around 750 GBytes (if you believe the drive manufacturers, actual numbers are less as usual) of storage to back up several computers automatically.
Here's the fun part. My Gateway laptop and my wife's HP desktop machine have no problem finding the unit, connecting to it and backing up their files. My HP desktop machine (1 GHz Pentium III, Windows XP Home Edition) can't find it. At least the console program that came with the storage device can't find it, nor can the backup program. All three machines are running XP HE. All can access the printers hanging off my desktop computer and all access my cable modem through the switch and router with no difficulty.
Any ideas? Is their some obscure network setting in Windows XP that I might need to re-set? Oh, and when I loaded the software and it updated stuff from Microsoft the two desktop machines now insist that I log on when I reboot. Never needed that in the past. How do I disable that unwanted "feature"?
