Recovery CD does not recognize Network Adapter

Thread needs solution

When the Recovery CD is booted, my network adapter is not recognized and I cannot find information on how to set the NAS option to the RAID1 IP. The other option offered is the Acronis Cloud which I have not attempted to use yet. Any suggestions wouyld be greatly appreciated.

System: 16GB RAM, i7-4700HQ ASUS G750JW-SB71-CB NOTEB

Total Hard Drive Capacity: 2TB

While my original question dealt with the D-Link (Network Adapter) not being reachable by the Recovery CD, I also, upon checking the JPG submitted made reference to the message "The last backup was canceled by timeout" and is closed as [RESOLVED].
I do have the UNC specified as \\DLINK-120757\Volume_1\ASAUSbkp\Acronis\ and in the two cases shown still failed and about a year after it was [RESOLVED]. The only difference is that I didn't use the IP address and if that (it shouldn't) is or is not the case I find the situation [NOT RESOLVED] and the thread is closed so I cannot bring attention to it unless I open a thread with the same name.

BTW, as part of the backup exercise I decided to use the Acronis Cloud service and while the backup completed successfully, it also got me in hot water because my ISP had a cap of 100GB and I exceeded that. I caught it in time and with some difficulty (Bell Canada is the provider) resolved that, however that is not pertinent to this case. I will post further on the results of trying to access the Acronis Cloud with the Recovery CD, it was another option on the menu.

CD Recovery does show the Cloud option. Requests user ID (email address) and password and cannot connect to server.
It asks me to copy details for support and does not give me a way to paste. No notepad or equivalent.
The system report is generated to a C:\System Volume Information folder that cannot be seen when booting Windows 8.
I did see a reference to ETH0 and this leads me to believe it want's the machine to be hooked up via ethernet cable.
The backup to Acronis Cloud was done over WiFi and that is the area I will continue to look at.

[edit] BTW, no ability to take screen captures is available, ie. PrtScrn and paste. [/edit]

Hello Han Tacoma-Emons,

if you are experiencing any issues with Acronis Online Backup please contact our support team.

Regarding Notepad or creating screenshot functionality while booting from Acronis Media: Acronis Standalone Media  is supposed to be first of all a recovery environment, generally it is a cut-down operating system based on Linux. So if you can simply create screen photos instead of usual screenshots in that are available in Windows.

Thank you.
