I've been peeking at it for *years,* and was just setting up my Linkstation
DH250GL with Freelink when it went down.

Using a page in my browser's cache, I was able to finish the installation of
Freelink.  But there were some tweaks still to make (most specifically, getting
NFS set up).

Did the site run out of money?  Is it just a hardware failure?  Does anyone here
know?

Thanks!

Seems fine for me.  I even tried visiting a non-cached page and confirmed its up
and functional.

http://buffalo.nas-central.org/wiki/Add_a_Serial_port_to_the_PowerPC_Linkstation

There could have been some outage, but all looks fine at this time.

Cheers,
Tim

my setup:
- Windows 7
- Gigabit network: SMC switch + CAT6 cables
- LS-QL with 4 x 2TB set to RAID5

1. Music server:
I would like to install Squeezebox Server onto it.  Does anyone know how to do
it?  http://fieldnetworks.com/slim/linkstation.html only talks about other
models, not LS-QL.

2. Transfer rate:
I'm getting 10-12 MB/s writing speed from PC to NAS.  Anyway to improve this?  I
tried using Tera Copy but no improvement.

Same here - gigabit network but only managed 13mb/s with StevieWonder 2.28....

First post, so be gentle!!

My sole objective is just to get a Logitech Squeezebox system runninhg from a
recently purchased Buffalo Linksatation Live (Type LS-CHL V2D08 , 1Tb). It has
firmware v 1.24. The Linkstation shows up on my screen, and the Memeo back up
seems to be happily working away. I know next to nothing about Linux, but have
got to use it a bit in my frstrated efforts so far, see below.

The rest of the network is two computers both running XP. The Buffalo software
has only been loaded onto my computer, so far.

I managed with the help of Buffalo Technology to finally get web access,
clicking on the icon, though I had to use IE instead of my usual Firefox.

I then followed a detailed article in user forums> third party hardware at
slimdevices.com. The article was "Even easier Squeezebox install on Buffalo
Linkstations Pro and Live" by user Tired Legs. I got as far as running
acp_commander.jar using the cmd.exe box, in order to get telnet access. In spite
of positive return messages (the last said "you can now telnet to your box as
user 'root' providing no/an empty password") I have been unable to use telnet.

I nwas directed to other forums and found this connection there.

When I enter "telnet" followed by the IP address of the unit, in the cmd.exe
window, the response is "Could not open connection to the host on port
23:connect failed"

The windows firewall was disabled at the time. I have read of others getting the
port 23 response.

I have very little experience with Linux but am good at following instructions!

Any bright ideas?

Many thanks for responding, even though it is not good news! I shall keep
exploring and plodding on.

ok so i just upgraded my lspro to a new 2tb hd and decided to change to the
steviewonder firmware after reading up on it....the install went just fine.  the
main reason i wanted it was for the twonky integration.  first few times i had
no issues getting to the config page for the twonky software but now i cant get
into it for the life of me.
i tried everything but nothing is working.  i reset root password and checked
the ini file with vi and its properly set to enalbleweb=2.  i dont know what
else to try?  i keep getting the red screen when i go to the config or setup
page which says "Access is restricted to MediaServer configuration!"
anyone have any other ideas for me to try?
i can access the webbrowse page just fine and it shows my data from the nas but
i would like to tweak the folders its looking at and cant do that without access
to the setup or config pages...
any help would be appreciated and thanks for the great firmware!

Dan

Hi,

now I'm cloning my 500gb hd to a new 1,5 TB samsung because I'm going to upgrade
my HS-DHGL. Then I'd like to flash stevie wonder firmaware 2.29 into it. It's
compatible?

thanks

no way to flash steviewonder mod firmware into my hs-dhgl. I modified
LSUpdater.ini but when I run the updater it search a bit and then says it can't
find any linkstation to update.

If I run buffalo navigator it is going to find it.

I turned off m firewall so I do no understand. Linkstation has DHCP disabled and
work normally on my lan.

any advice?

thanlk a lot!

HI Hai,

actually I changed it from

ProductID = 0x000A

to

ProductID = 0x0009

according to readme file.

I have HS-DHGL 500gb update to 1,5TB

Thanks for your help!
Massimo

I'm downloading a same file using utorrent (from my computer) and bittorrent
download manager (installed on my LS-QL).
I notice a difference in speed with LS-QL's being much slower.
My LS-QL settings were set to unlimited speed and using 58500 port.

Anyone how to fix this?

Greetings,
I had purchased a new LS-QL/R5 1TB NAS, as i already have a 8TB model which I
like, so i bought the 1TB with the intention to upgrade the drive capacity.
Unfortunately I didn't do my research, and ended up blowing away the partitions
on the included 250GB drives, and found out that my 4 1TB drives wouldn't do
anything without the OS loaded on them, and that I should have changed drives
one at a time.
Of course, Buffalo will not provide advice as the warantee is voided.

I have attached the NAS to my PC, and see that it only gets the 192.168.11.150
address for a limited time, then it is unreachable.

Is there any hope to revive this NAS?

Thanks,
mcp

Thanks Dang.
I will try what you suggest. I greatly appreciate your response.
I did get a little further last night, before I read your reply. The new NAS did
get a DHCP address, so I was able to upgrade the firmware. When I try to
recreate the RAID with the 4 250GB drives it tells me that 2 drives have failed.
I will buy 4 new 2TB drives, and try your suggestion as soon as I have the
budget.
All the best,
mcp

Dang,
This morning I was able to reformat the original 250GB drives and created a new
RAID-5 set. I guess I just needed as little patience.
As soon as I can I will do the same with the 2TB drives.
Thanks again,
mcp

I might can buy a cheap LinkStation Live.

But I really need nfs support and mostly not the media server whatever things on
it.
(read a lot that it will slow down the linkstation very much)


Also I read here and in forums that I can use the files from "Linkstation Pro -
8USB & 2SATA" to install on the LS Live.

So currently I'm unsure what to do... :/


So what to update first? LS up to Version 1.15? (which also includes nfs)

Maybe then the Dual drive? (OK I'll have only one 1TG disk)


Anything I missed so far?

How to get rid of the media services on the LS?

I have a HS-DH500GL with a 500gb hard drive. I've been looking around the net to
find out how big of a hard drive i can replace the current one with but can't
find anything. Anyone have any links they can share?? Or know what to look for
when buying a hard drive??

Hi, I put a 1.5Tb Samsung hd in it but there is a guy who installed a Seagate
2T. Check previous messages.
