Vista - PC not on line

PC not on line

Hi.
I installed FolderShare on Vista Ultimate.
I've created an account and inserted a computer to share.
When I try to connect, the icon of FS continues to have the circle of
expectation and the PC is offline.
I opened the door 6571 firewall and created a service on the same port in
the router.
My account is valid and is connected, but the PC is always "not on line"
Thank you.

RE: PC not on line

Hi, foldershare announced yesterday a time out for several hours. Still
several countries can't reconnect. Unfortunately the FS Team doesn't provide
any further update info on this issue. Just wait, until FS is reconnected!

RE: PC not on line

It's "beta"... get over it... I'm sure it will be back online soon enough.
You should probably look for a solution that's not "beta" if it's critical
for your work processes.

Question is, if there is comparable solution on the market. I know (and
use) dropbox that is really great - but still in closed beta. And it
does have a size limit of 2 GB since it doesn't do simly syncing but
also storing your files onto their servers.

I know wuala that is something between foldershare and dropbox since you
can increase the memory you can get if you offer memory to the
community. But wuala is in closed alpha and I don't like the software.

Is there any alternative that is working under Windows and MacOS and
does this syncing of folders?

Re: PC not on line

Collanos and Ulteo are other alternatives. But both are quite complicate in
comparison to foldershare. If FS would provide more information about what
they are doing, everything would be fine, even if it is sometimes out of work
for some updates.
