Drobo Dashboard Can’t Connect to Drobo when ESET Firewall is Active
Have a Drobo storage unit? If you have ESET Smart Security Firewall enabled, you'll probably find Drobo Dashboard can't connect while the firewall is on even after adding all the required ports and services to ESET's rules from the Drobo online help site (http://goo.gl/iVKVU). After enabling the detailed logging in ESET, I found that ESET's firewall was flagging Drobo Dashboard as an intrusion attempt and blocked it. From the Drobo help page (http://goo.gl/iVKVU):
‘Windows XP Mode’ could not be started because there are not enough system resources or memory in your computer. You can shut down other virtual machines or close open applications and try again.
If you're running Windows 7 and try to install Windows XP mode, you might run into the error "'Windows XP Mode' could not be started because there are not enough system resources or memory in your computer. You can shut down other virtual machines or close open applications and try again." You'll need to find the app causing the problem. You can use msinfo to figure out which apps are resource intensive.
