Saving to Network Drive

Hi

I have Vista business, running Office 2007 Pro. I connect to a shared
network drive via a wireless connection. The drive is a Chronos Lan-Disk
drive, connected to the wireless router via standard utp cable.

From the network drive, I am able to open documents and work on them, but I
am unable to save back to the drive.

If I am saving a new file to the network drive, the file that I am trying to
save gets created as a 0kb file and then I get asked repeatedly to save the
file, I end up saving the file to local disk and then use windows explorer
to copy and paste the file to the drive.

If I have opened an existing document on the drive and then want to save it,
the file size gets reset to 0kb and I get an error message saying that the
file has not been saved and I once again save it to the local drive and then
copy and paste it to the server drive.

I am not sure if this is an Office problem, a Vista problem or a hardware
problem (firmware on the drive, I am using the latest firmware available
though.)

Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated

Regards

Ihar

It sounds like the read/write permissions aren't correct on the Chronos
for the Vista user. If it is running a version of *nix (as so many NAS
are) then you might need to look at its configuration. I'd contact the
Chronos tech support people as the next step in troubleshooting.

Just ran a test, get the same problem when using a shared drive on an XP Pro
machine

So now I don't think it is the Chronos Drive share settings.

Do you have any drive quotas set?

Another question: are you running on a wireless network? Is the machine that
you are having problems with wireless?

I am experiencing wierd wireless issues....
 
Malke, no there are no drive quotas involved

Troy, yes it is a wireless network, I am linked via wireless to the router,
the drive in question is a LAN Drive and is hardwired to the router.
