  If a network connection cannot be established and the cameras are crossed out on your Bosch Security System, the issue might be due to several reasons: * The computer name has been assigned more than once. Ensure that the computer name is unique. * The IP address is incorrect. Verify and enter the correct IP address. * The firewall is activated. Deactivate the firewall, or if deactivation isn't possible, use UDP tunneling.

  If your Bosch Security System displays a message stating that there are files on the drive that cannot be accessed, it could be because there are corrupt sectors or corrupt files on the drives. To resolve this: 1. Check the affected drives using the Chkdsk program. 2. Delete the affected files. 3. Also delete the directories in which the corrupt files are located. If this is unsuccessful, restore the system using the recovery CD. Note that a list of the corrupt files is created in the DB server log file each time DiBos is started up.
