Nevermind, I found one...

does somebody know i can install dp500serv or kissd on linkstation. I
use openlink as firmware.   The reason i want to install is that i
wanna  connect my kiss dp 1500 to my linkstation. hopefuly somebody
will help me. thanks in advance.

as this was asked already in the forums (are you the same guy??) i
compiled it for ppc and i outlined what is needed if you compile it
for the LS2(mips).

hey there,
just got my link station HD-HLAN 160Gb. I've managed to set up most of
the features, but when I tried to install my printer I hit a brick
wall. I knew that the 2-way functions on the printer would not work
when I ordered the linkstation, but I was under the impression that I
would still be able to print. Can anyone give me any clues(or even a
step by step guide if it's not 2 difficult)??
I'm running XP by the way.
thanks in advance,
Paul

You've got to install CUPS as it seems, and probably also compile the driver.
Not easy for
newbies but generally possible.

at first look if the printer is really recognized in
http://<linkstation-ip>/cgi-bin/usb-info.cgi

normally getting a Printer to work is just a matter of enabling the
Print Server on http://<linkstation-ip>/cgi-bin/usb-printer.cgi and
then choose "Postscript" as a printer type.

if this does not work then it seems that the specific printer model
(or all lexmark printers?) triggers this problem.

My Linkstation HD120 fan has finally failed.  I was able to remove it
from the chasis and am looking for any information on a replacement.
Yes I know I can just replace it with a like one, but I'm looking for
one with the wiring harness intact.  I looked on eBay for parts but
nothing. I have been to the following sites:
http://www.kurobox.com/mwiki/index.php/Fan
http://www.linkstationwiki.net/index.php?title=Fan_noise

This page has what I want, but HOW DO YOU  BUY IT???
http://www.kuroutoshikou.com/products/kuro-box/kuro-box_parts.html

Does anyone know where I can get this part?
Does anyone have any spare parts???

Any help is appreciated.

John

i think you can replace it with any
40 x 40 x 10 mm 12V fan. i would search for a silent one and buy
it...it should have 3 three pins so it can be controlled from the LS.

then just cut the cables, solder the cables from the new fan, close it
and everything should be done.

Hi. I have recently replaced the fans in both of my Linkstations.
You will find that a fan complete with the wiring harness will not be
available, as the fan is wired into the same multipole plug which
also feeds from the power supply, you will have to cut and solder the
leads, I am afraid, or ask someone else to do it if you cannot solder
yourself.

Dear All,

I have got a new linkstation, but i found that the USB and some
software can not used. I want to ask i follow the "Hacking Howto for
the linkstation" guide and hack the linkstation. i can solve the
problem?

And also i want to ask how to upgrade the kernel of the linkstation to
kernel 2.6.X.


Best Regards,

Anthony

If you don't detail it: on your own, I'm afraid.

Check out <http://linkstationwiki.net/index.php?title=FAQ>!

I'm hosting the kernel 2.6 for PPC based Linkstations on my website, <http://

Hi everyone,

	 I have the Linkstation 250 GB PPC model. Everything was fine,
until last night, when I powered it down. Since I've powered it up,
I've been unable to connect via ftp as a registered user ("connection
refused"). I don't know why this is. I checked the configuration web
pages and everything is as it was. I logged into my unit and checked
the logs ... there are no error messages in the logs.

	 The only thing that seems abnormal is that the ftp server
does not appear to be running. I don't know why that would be --
again, I made no changes to the configuration between powering it
down and starting it up again.

	 Does anyone know how I can get the ftp server running again,
and make sure that it keeps running across restarts?

	 Thanks,
	 Marc

Basically, when I enable "registered users," the ftp server is shut down. Does
anyone know
why?

Hi,

	 Does anyone know what version of Netatalk is included in the
Linkstation Pro? Does it have Netatalk 2 or does it use the old
Netatalk 1.6.4 included in earlier models?

That's great news. It's the only Linkstation to use Netatalk 2.x, isn't it?

Where would I be able to get the software updater or OpenLink.

I'm thinking of swapping out to a new hard drive and want the LS to
rebuild the partitions, etc, as though it's a new unit.

Anyone try this yet?  Any suggestions?

I followed the directions on
http://fieldnetworks.com/slim/linkstation.html.
Everythong went perfectly on my PPC LS.
Slimserver is up and running now but...
When I connect my Soundbridge to my "Linkstation" server, it turns
itself off.

Anyone have any ideas?

I'm trying to get the Linkstation to see a shared drive on a PC as
local share or folder on the linkstation.
