Hi,
I have been attempting to set-up a mirror system on an XP Home network.
I have no problems creating the mirror files.
But I cannot get the clients to update from the mirror.
I have read both the FAQ on this and Anders "quick walkthrough" for Win2K (included below).
I have used exactly the set-up described by Anders (except for the server name) but get the following response on the client machines;
"server connection failure".
I can of course just up-date all of the clients from the web but I like to do my bit to save bandwidth.
Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
John C

There are two common pitfalls when updating NOD32 over a LAN.
Here's a quick walkthrough I made earlier:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On mirror-machine: (computer name: THESERVER)
- Download from NOD32-server using the username and password received at purchase.
- In the mirror setup, choose which versions to create mirrors for.
- Enter a path to an existing directory where the mirror files should be stored. (for example: C:\Program Files\ESET\NOD32UPD)
- Share that folder, giving read access to an account on the mirror-machine. (For example, create the account "noduser") Share the folder as "NOD32UPD".
- No username/password should be entered in the mirror setup.
------
On client machine:
- Open NOD32 Control Center.
- Click the "Servers..." button.
- COMMON PITFALL 1: Add the server: file://THESERVER/NOD32UPD
- COMMON PITFALL 2: Enter the username and password to access the updates. The username in this example should be: THESERVER\noduser
The password should be the password of the user "noduser" on the computer with the mirrors (THESERVER)
