LaCie Ethernet Disk User Manual Troubleshooting page 53 Issue How do you grant access to a few users, while restricting others, on the same network? A share cannot be created with a specific name. Why does Windows sometimes report inaccurate free space? Error messages when attempting to transfer data. Possible Solution Make sure that there is not an existing share with the same name. Go the Web Administration Page and click on the Share tab to verify that there is not a share with that same name. Even if you cannot see the share, it may exist on a removable mass storage device. If this is the case, and the device is not plugged in, the share names will still be in the registry of your LaCie Ethernet Disk. In this instance, you will need to delete the "broken share" (see 8.3.4. Deleting a Broken Share for more information) before creating the share again. Some Windows clients are unable to recognize disk space in excess of 2GB. This only affects the display, and not the "real" available free space. Install the LaCie Ethernet Disks individually, one at a time. Make sure that you change the name of the LaCie Ethernet Disk before installing the next one. There will be a conflict if the names are not unique. If you are using Mac OS 9.x, all file and folder names must be less than 27 characters in length. Make sure that all file and folder names are under 27 characters. If you are operating in an environment where both Mac OS 9.x and Mac OS 10.x are being employed, the same limitation applies. If you are using Mac OS 10.x and you get this error this may be caused by using characters in file names that Microsoft Windows operating systems do not allow. If you frequently share files with Windows-based computers, you will need to follow these naming protocols: These characters cannot be used in share, filer, folder or drive names
