Hi,

Use the IP address (if you're not doing so already) to get around any non-domain or DNS issues.

Also get hold of the B2Dtest.exe tool on the link below. Install it and run it against the NAS to check for suitability to run as a B2D target:

IP address used, IT failed with same reason.

Server has two lan cards is this causing the problem ?

both are working & has been configured with IPV4

If i add the  NAS name & its ip address in the DNS & in the host file, will it resolve the issue. ?

How can i add the NAS in to a DNS because its not a part of domain? its just a stand alone NAS.

It could.  Try disabling one of the LAN cards and see whether it solves the problem.

It may, but I would try disabling one of the LAN card first.

Adding the NAS IP address to the host file is good enough.

Hope you are providing the IP address followed by the share name while creating B2D

Usually you can use the NAS's UI to make it part of a domain
