Hi Mac,
Maybe you can try this.
I've almost the same configuration previously at home.
Connect the Linksys 8-ports switch to the 2wire Gateway ADSL set and then all the computers and the Linkstation EZ connect to the Linksys switch?
The Linkstation EZ should be DHCP and set all compuetrs to detect IP automatically as well.
Regards
Thanks Tanjl, ill try that in an hour or 2 and report back, i currently have the LS connected directly to one of the machines to pull 170gb of data off it. Ideally i'd like to keep the same configuration (as it has worked previously) but if thats a working soloution im more than happy to try it because im pulling my hair out and the office has a stressful vibe today!! :)Message Edited by MacS on 01-19-2009 06:31 AM
Im happy to report that after flashing the firmware from 1.04 to 2.01 (the LS was acting wierd when accessed via Navigator, asking to reset time, telling me the 'incorrect password' was used when it wasnt etc so i suspected a buggy fw to start) and a little rewiring to your suggestion it worked first time so many thanks tanjl. Boss is happy, im happy - for the overtime - and the missions completed! Thanks again, mac.Message Edited by MacS on 01-19-2009 02:25 PM
