swiss420,
I noted all of your problems with
slow performance (even under iStorage Server),
error message and
temporary freeze at the beginning of connection.
I will
try to
reproduce those problems and then
try to find the
cause and
eliminate it.
I will post back here
as soon as I will know how I can
help you.
Not that important but in the iStorage Server Console I noticed that the automatic startup of the Service and the Console are not in the same menu. Might be nice to be able to deactivate both in case needed without forgetting one.
Noted, I will forward this
suggestion to ours development team.
cajunflavoredbob,
I'm
relief to see that you didn't had any problems setting everything up.
Can you please
tell me
more information about your network? Also, I already
posted earlier things that you could do to
determine if it is a
hardware or
software related
issue, can you please check it:
To help you with you low performance problem, you would first need to
check if this is
software or hardware related.
To determine it, you would need to
copy files to
your phone using same network (
WLAN).
To do it, you can set up a
build-in IIS in
Windows Server 2003 and
2008. Then you can easily open a website using your phone and download some files from it.
You would need to setup IIS because you would need to download some files locally so you can
check the
performance of your network using
your device.
Using
Internet to test it
wouldn’t be accurate source of information since then
speed of the internet is additional variable.
If you
don't know how to
set up IIS, please tell on
which OS you would like to do it and
I can guide you set by step how to do it.
Alternatively you may use other software like
XAMPP (
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html) which can be installed on either
Windows,
Linux or
Mac.
Same as with IIS, it will allow you to
create a
web server from which you may
download file.
If you would like me to
assist you with XAMPP, please
tell me, and I will be
glad to help you.
You also said that you are
streaming FLAC music files - those are usually pretty
big files but you can listen to them
without any
problems, right? But then when you try to
copy 5MB file, it will take you
several minutes?
About your iStorage Server problem, I must say I never heard about such issue. Can you tell me which
operating system are you using and I assume you have
iStorage Server version
2.40?
swiss420 was
kind enough to post you information about how to
apply free license, so you can just do as he indicated. (I know that you can't access help menu anyway.)
Of course
applying free license
won't change your ability to
open any menu, you will just not be able to create some iSCSI Targets. (It will be fallow by a specific message.)
dayznfuz,
I'm not quite sure if I understand this correctly:
However, the only way I can find to connect to the iSCSI drive is to start a iSCSI connector. So if I want to add files to it from the Desktop that actually hosts the iSCSI drive, it won't let me until I log out of it from the phone.
Do you mean that if you want to
add files (on server side) to
iSCSI target you are already
connected to, you need to
disconnect from it first?
A minor hassle, but it'd be nice to have the initiator be built into the server management program and not count as your one connection.
Noted, I will forward this suggestion to ours development team.
I will also ask development team about "
Time out" feature so the app won't hang up on you.
I was able to reproduce your
two icons problem, it will be removed in next version.
But as for that app
installed on
device itself, instead of s
torage card, maybe it was a problem of your
rooted phone? Did you had same problem on
not rooted version?
You could
experience 3G issues because of
unstable 3G connection,
if it is possible, can you try to check it again in
other part of your town, to see if that problem will still be there?
3G support was mainly added for
small files - like accessing/saving
pictures and
documents, it was
never meant to operate on
big files - it is all because of speed of that network.
When I will know solution for
problem that you and
swiss420 are experiencing:
Problem connecting to the network / Socket connect error 2751
I will post back here ASAP.
