I have a Lacie Disc Mini 320gb Home edition! With latest update installed.

I’m having serious problems streaming music and photos to my xBox 360, I’ve not extensively tested video yet so Im not sure if problem is also with video.

What happens is:
1) I select music on the xBox, change the device to the HipServ, select an album or track, hit play and all is well for about 1 and a half tracks. What happens then is the music stops and goes strait back to the device selections screen! This occurs with photo streaming, music streaming or both!
2) I have tested it on my Vista Laptop and my Desktop PC running XP using WMP 11. Sometimes even on these is stops working but in General its fine apart from when you are viewing the content through the WMP Library. What happens is same as above, about 1 and a half tracks in, the HipServ disappears from the WMP Library and then only shows content stored on the PC. After a split second the HipServ reappears. So I have to select it again to view the content!
3) Because of point 2 above I thought, lets test my PC and xBox at the same time and guess what? Both events coincide with each other. So when HipServ disappears on my PC the music stops on the xBox! It’s as if the HipServ refreshes its self to look for Media Players and in doing so knocks the xBox out! Maybe you and any other readers could see if their HipServ does the same on their WMP and or xBox?

I have a ticket open with Lacie with a Guy called Kevin he advised me at first xBox 360 is not supported even though there website said it does and that’s why I bought it! Anyway he went on to say the update would fix it but, yes you guessed it the problem is still here. I’ve tried all sorts even connecting them through a hub rather than through my router but nothing works. I’ve got my router set up as Lacie advises but still no luck. I can access all the drives through my mapped network drives, HipServ Agent and I have media sharing selected.

I hope you can help.

Just changing the subject a little: I think I read earlier that you recommend uninstalling the HipServ Agent software is this correct? I know it will not fix my problem but will the Mirror backup still work if I do? Or do you recommend a different backup system?

Thanks in advance.

I personally don’t like to call anyone with a 08XX prefix, unless its a free one, but it makes me sick that even some of the hospitals are using these numbers. I counted over a dozen that are using 0845 and 0844 numbers, they are charging you for a service that is meant to be free!

Its all in my blog post at:

When the router is set up it does a port forward of port 80 (and I think 443 and 21) to the router. This means that when you are on the internet and you put in your IP address the router points the traffic towards the hard drive.

What must have happened for you is that the process is being done for internal traffic instead of internal. You need to go into your router and see if you can find a rules or port forwarding screen and see if you can correct the error.

If you didn’t do the settings yourself you should go into the Lacie and turn off UPnP and then reset the lacie and the router. Test whether that has fixed it and then manually forward 80, 443 and 21 to the hard drive.

If you did do the settings yourself then remove them and allow UPnP to do the work.

Hopefully one of those should fix it

“How do I stop the LaCie from redirecting me to their http://www.homelacie.com website?”

But I’m not sure how to do this. Can you help me solve this problem? It is very frustrating not being able to access the web with this switched on!
Thanks,
Jack.

i have a Lacie Home edition 500 GB (v1.6.1) connected via ethernet cable to my FritzBox WiFi router.
Accessing dats from PC (Win XP Pro) works fine.
However i have 2 questions:

1. How can i select and stream music (for example a full album) from the Lacie to Windows Media Player?
2. PS3 (updated to the latest version) finds HipServ media server but the folders displayed on PS3 are empty. The message displayed on screen is ‘there are no track”. Therefore i can not see any data files (music, photos or videos) stored on Lacie. Do you have an idea on what is wrong?

Thanks in advance

PS. If you ever fancy a good laugh you know were we are right?

Thanks

I am having trouble with the DesktopMirror software, which is not backing up subfolders. They appear as inaccessible empty subfolders.

It seems to be the same problem that you mention at the top of your page. Any progress from axentra? Their support pages seem pretty poor - they mention another update, but nothing so far…

Is there any third party software that does the same job? (although this defeats the object of the whole package)
