Safepoint in another subnet / Wins server wont work / no option for mannually configuring safepoint

WD Legacy Products My Book Live
1

My Mybooklive  box is  hooked up at subnet 1(call it location 1), my another NAS machine is hooked up at subnet 2(location 2). Both are connected through a fast VPN tunnel. I’ve been for several days attempting to backup mybooklive using safepoint from location 1 to location 2.

However I got a bit of an issue here, Im trying to setup mybooklive to create safepoints in a NAS located at location2 ,   basically, all it does is a NetBIOS broadcast on subnet1 and can’t find any shares on subnet 2 because netbios broadcasts wont propagate across subnets…  Then I configure  a WINS server, after that I find out there’s no option for WINS server config on mybooklive!!

Also there’s no option to mannually enter an IP address there pointing for the another NAS to use as a safepoint. That feature itself would already solve the issue.

I’m having kind of a hard time with this issue… any solutions?

Thanks

You might potentially be able to manually define a WINS server by modifying the SAMBA configuration by hand…  Never tried it myself.

In another  thread I described a solution to a different safepoint problem - however, the solution may also solve your problem.
