For 2-3 years I haven't been able to get the mediasmart connector software to work with my ex-470. I have tried installing it on 3 different machines to no avail, it's been forever since I've even tried so I don't even recall what it says the problem is. Anyhow, the server kept performing fine as a mediaserver so I just went on about my business and didn't worry about it. Over the past month or so I have noticed slower performance, more buffering, an occasional video just altogether won't play. I fear a drive is going out, but without the connector software I can't really get in there to see what is going on. (Found no hints when I did a remote log in). So what I'm now considering is doing a restore. Does that sound like the next logical step? Obviously the server is getting older and just needs to be replaced, but I'd like to keep it limping along until I get some more disposable income. I already have the contents backed up. Opinions or suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
