: Mac NASNavigator2 can't find my Linkstation Pro Duo
: maxsta August 09, 2009, 06:42:14 AM
   

Somehow my NASNavigator2 can't find the Linkstation.

 

Here's my setup:


The situation:


So, how can I make my NASNavigator find my Linkstation Pro Duo?

 

Thanks in advance for your support!

 

 

UPDATE:

Searching again through the forum (and using different keywords) I stumbled over some threads that imply the NASNavigator for Mac is not working properly (thus is not able to find the Linkstation) and it's adviced to connect via " GO => Connect to server".

Does this mean there is no fix for my problem mentioned above (except the mentioned workaround)?

Not sure if this is going in the right direction, but what version of NASNavigator are you using on the MacBook?

Gotcha. Under downloads for the Linkstation Pro Duo, try the latest version for Mac (2.19) and see if that resolves the issue.

LOOOOL ... the English Europe site just has v2.10 ... but after checking the US site I found the v2.19 file.

However I still run into the same problem ;-(

Ack....hrm....I'll admit I'm not a Mac guy but do you have any sort of firewall configured on the system? (or perhaps some advanced firewall or mac address filtering on your network router)?

Oh and also you're running the latest firmware on the LS Pro Duo? I remember there was a problem with Mac access but i don't think it was specific to NAS Navigator... hrm..

 

Outside of those things, I'll see what i can come up with, but perhaps someone from Buffalo Support could chime in on this one...

   I am having a similar problem...  I downloaded NasNavigator2 (version 2.16) a few months ago when I bought my Mac (an XP convert...).  It worked well with OS 10.5.7, including finding my Pro Duo and letting me access it through the web (called Browser Management in the Windows version).  Since I updated to 10.5.8, NasNavi2 finds the drive (and I can access the data no problem); but I cannot access the Pro Duo through the web.  I tried trashing 2.16 and installing 2.19; results are the same.  I get the feeling the OS update messed this up (some things never change...).
