[QUOTE="Larzon, post: 643817, member: 101335"] I just got a little [B]Windows 7 [/B]machine and set it up as a MePo client. The server is an XP machine (= "MePoServer"). In order for the Win7 client to monitor the drive used for TV recordings on the server, I did this: 1) shared the drive on the XP server (= "TVdrive"), 2) set appropriate permissions for the drive, and 3) issued this command on Win7 client machine: net use Z: \\MePoServer\TVdrive (Command completed successfully.) To confirm the network drive was available to the Win7 machine I used Explorer to view the Z: drive and navigate into its folders. [B]However in MePo Config the DriveFreeSpace plugin only shows the local drives on the Win7 machine; it does not show the network drive.[/B] Just out of curiosity I tried going in the reverse direction, and it worked as expected. In XP the DriveFreeSpace plugin can show a drive shared from the Win7 machine. If the problem is the way DriveFreeSpace works in Win7, it would be great to have a fix for it.;) Or perhaps this is some sort of network security issue in Windows 7? [/QUOTE]
