Now, with regards to the login problem, please do kindly try the following:

Go to your Windows 7 implementation running in Parallels Desktop V5.

Make sure the network connection is bridged, not shared.

Open the command console (Start / type cmd in the Search programs box / hit Enter).

write PING plus the Beomaster's IP-address (e.g. ping 192.168.3.15) and hit Enter.

The program will now ping the Beomaster and supply back a delay time of anything between 10 and 200 ms.

 

Tell me if that worked for you.

Great, now I would like you to do exactly the same, but not limited to ten pings:

 

1) Go to your Windows 7 implementation running in Parallels Desktop V5. Make sure the network connection is bridged, not shared.

2) Open the command console (Start / type cmd in the Search programs box / hit Enter).

3) write PING plus the Beomaster's IP-address PLUS the parameter -t, pipe it into a file, e.g. myping.txt and hit Enter.
This would look for example like this: ping 192.168.3.15 -t > c:\myping.txt You will notice that nothing happens - which is not true: The ping command is running until you decide to stop it using Ctrl-C, and the results are not displayed on the screen, but are redirected into a file called myping.txt which will be created in the root directory of your startup drive.

4) Leave this ping running for at least 30 minutes, then interrupt with Ctrl-C, open the file and look out for irregularities. You may also send me the file via private message if you want.

(I hope I do not bore you with these detailed instructions but I want to make absolutely sure that the IP link is ok. Also, I do it from Windows, because if it works from the Parallels VM also the Mac's base IP socket connections will be ok.)

OK after trying many things i finally have the answer: Beoconnect does not work and needs an update soon!! meanwhile i can connect to the beomaster thru:

1) connect to server

2)smb://ip adres of beomaster5

3) type in the window for verification: name:beomaster5\BM-USER

passw: your assigned password.

4) connect and voila you are in and will see the hdd icon on the desktop with all subfolders; copy your itunes library to music folder.

hope this will help other mac users.

 

thanks
