Problem Possible Causes Corrective Actions
When importing or exporting
(sending) between K2 Solo
Media Servers a “…failed to
connect…” message appears
and the operation fails. There is a problem with
Windows networking or there is
a mis-spelling with the host
name as entered in
Configuration Manager. Check networking as follows:
- Check basic Windows
networking. Use Windows
Explorer to test a basic copy
operation to the machine to
which you are trying to connect.
If basic networking fails, use
standard Windows procedures to
troubleshoot and correct your
network.
- If the Windows network is
working properly, in AppCenter
select
System | Configuration |
Remote
and verify that the name
of the machine to which you are
trying to connect is spelled
correctly and has no extra spaces
or characters.
The K2 Solo Media Server to
which you are trying to connect
is not operating or the network is
mis-configured. Verify that the K2 Solo Media
Server to which you are trying to
connect is operational and that
the network is configured
correctly. Verify that the name of
the K2 Solo Media Server is
entered correctly in the
Configuration Manager Hosts
page. Refer to networking
procedures in the K2 System
Guide
A networked device does not
appear in the “Import” and
“Send to” dialog boxes, even
though it is present on the

host. In AppCenter select
System |
Configuration | Remote | Add
and enter the name of the
machine to which you are trying
to connect. Make sure it is
spelled correctly and has no
extra spaces or characters. Also
check the hosts file. Refer to
networking procedures in the K2
System Guide.
Files do not appear in” Send
To” or “Export” dialogs. File names do not have proper
