Hi all,
I've been searching the forum and the internet in general for a few days now for a solution but I can't seem to find one for this problem.
I have a Linkstation LS-XL Live which previously was connected on a network which worked perfectly; everything was configured and worked like it should. I recently moved and so I disconnected the linkstation from the previous network and I'm now trying to connect to my linkstation which doesn't seem to work.
It isn't showing up anywhere on my network when connecting it directly to my laptop with an Ethernet cable, it does show up in NAS Navigator2 after a while, I than get a message if I want to configure my linkstation and if I want to configure the date and time on my laptop, I click Yes which gives me a message that it's impossible to connect to the linkstation, do you want to configure the IP automatically? I click Yes, and then an error shows up that the date, time and IP couldn't be configured.
I tried the password reset tool but this counts down then goes over to a minus count (-2000 seconds etc) and eventually gives an error too.
I'm desperate; I really don't know what to do anymore, could someone help me please?
My laptop runs on Windows 8 64bits.
Kind regards,
Jonathan
Thanks alot for willing to help; this is the error that I get when clicking "No":
no, post a screen shot of the main nas navigator window
I'm sorry, I misunderstood. Here you go:
OK, good, now what is the IP address of your PC?
I think it is 192.168.0.4 (I guess it's the IP4 Address?)
Some more info:
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . . . .: 192.168.0.4
DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
DNS Server . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 109.88.203.3
62.197.111.140
OK, so they are not in the same IP range. Right click on the picture of the Linkstation in the nas navigator -> Properties, set the IP of the Linkstation to be 192.168.0.214, sunbet mask 255.255.255.0, default gateway 192.168.0.1 and click Apply.
Thank you, I'll try this when I get home this evening but I think I'll get a connection error when trying to enter the properties. I'll try and post the result this evening.
I'm trying now but i'm getting this error:
Does this mean that the password I entered is incorrect or is there another problem?
I just searched my password on my tablet (via buffalo app) and I'm putting the correct password in but still getting the error "the drive does not reply"
Anyone who can help me with this? Davo, please?
Hi, I returned to my old house and linked the LS up to the old router. The drive was than accessible and worked like before, without a problem.
I than changed the IP ask stated by Davo so I'd be able to connect to the drive at my new home but once the changement was made I was unable to access the drive, wether it was linked to the router or to my laptop directly.
Is there a way to reset it to factory settings? Is the drive accessible when linked to a pc normally?
I would kindly appreciate any kind of help.
