May be same topic, or I can start a new topic if you wish. Have been using NeoRouter Free for last two years with great success. We do not use it for gaming, just for remote file service. Two computers in our office have shared folders, other computers in the office, or at home, or out of state, or out of the country, access those shared folders -- some of them running Windows 7 or 10, others running Linux, mainly Ubuntu. The two file-sharing computers are both running Win 7. The connection server for the domain is on the same Win 7 machine as the chief shared folder, and is up 24/7.
Now I am out of state, using a Ubuntu computer with Neorouter, so not using any GUI to connect. I open a terminal window, and execute nrclientcmd. This immediately prompts for domain, user, and password, which I supply. Then I see the message "Connecting to NeoRouter Client Service" and .... nothing else. Never see the list of computers on the domain I named.
Same result now for six days in a row.
Is this a problem at my end, am I doing something wrong? or a problem at the home office end? To the best of my memory, I am doing exactly the same thing on this out of state computer as I do at home when using a Ubuntu computer to access the shared folder across town. Different ISP, of course. Have the feeling that I have just forgotten something simple. Or something simple is wrong with either the server machine (in both senses of the word "server", connection server and file server) back at the office, or with the NetGear router at the office.
Thanks. --------------------------- Update: uninstalled NeoRouter, downloaded and installed nrclient-2.3.1.4360-free-ubuntu-amd64.deb. Now the messages I see are "Neorouter Network Explorer (Free). Signin failed. NeoRouter will retry automatically. Transport endpoint is not connected. Unhandled error message: Failed to retrieve share list from server: Connection timed out."
That is MUCH more helpful than the dead silence of the previous installation.
I conclude that my installation and my procedures are perfectly OK but there is a severe problem at the other end. So that is the end of this post. Thanks. Still a minor problem re "Unhandled error message" which appeared in a Ubuntu window, not in the NeoRouter terminal session which NeoRouter staff might want to take a look at.
Thanks, this post is ended as far as I am concerned. Leaving it for a while in case it helps others.
