Had the same problem on 12.10. I back up to a Windows Share on the local network. I tried opening the share via Nautilus, but it made no difference, I still got the network connection error message. I tried schaze 's workaround and that worked for me.
In /etc/hosts I added the destination computer's IP address and share name and from then it worked automatically. I hadn't tried any other workarounds. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/982316 Title: Deja Dup is unable to detect network connection To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+bug/982316/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
