Hello Everyone,
I have a few questions that I hope you can help me with. I currently have a buffalo linkstation live HS-DH1000L. I really like it but I am having problems with certain issues. I have searched the forums and other resource areas but have not gotten the information that I need. Maybe I am just missing it but I have not been able to find it. Any how let me start off with some specs for you.
-HS-DH1000L version 1.1 ( I know there are updated versions but just keep reading)
-Running NAS Navigator 2.18
-Linksys router
-I am running a dell computer with vista ultimate and kaspersky anti-virus program
-If you need any other specs let me know and I will get them to you.
The Linkstation Live is working great on my network and have no problems accessing it on my network. I can save items, play music (any format., mp3, mp4, windows media format, etc), watch movies, etc etc etc. The problems I am having is when I access them remotely from the web, weather it be from my own computer using internet explorer or using a computer from work.
I can access the linkstation live using webaccess and log in works fine but once I log in I get the security warning. I know this is from security certificate with the linkstation but how do I keep my browser from showing this. I have added it as a trusted site but I keep getting the warning. Once I click on the link to open the site everything works fine, it is just annoying.
My other problem I am having is once I make access to my linkstation thru the webaccess it opens up my first folder (which is my music folder) and then I get this message, "A script on this page is causing IE to run slowly. If it continues to run your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?" I always click "NO" I do not want to abort and it finishes opening up the folder and everything appears to be working properly.
The other problem I am having is I cannot listen to any other music thru web access unless it is in mp3 format. The Audio option on the lower left corner will open up but I cannot get any music to play. How do I fix that? Also if I click on a music file and it is an mp3 format I can get it to play if I click on the option that says preview Audio. My understanding is that this nas has a flash player that should play music. Is this something that was fixed in the updates? Also if I am on my home network I can access any music file (does not matter what format it is in my computer will open it and play it) I am only having the problem when I am accessing the nas thru webaccess. If I try to open up a music file (thru webaccess) that is in any other format other than mp3 I get an error message from windows media player and it says "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the server is not responding. Any ideas or help would be great.
The problem when playing video is the same as music. I can get any video to play from the linkstation if I am on my home network but if I access it from the web access I cannot get video to play. I get the same error message when I try to play music. Any ideas or comments.
Okay I know I need to update my firmware but I am having a problem with it. I cannot seem to get the firmware to load. I am able to download it from the buffalo website and I can upzip the file and change the 1 to a 0 on the bug area but for some reason I am getting an error code. Is it a must to put the linkstation into EM mode to get it to work. Also will I experience any problems with the firmware or something I need to be aware of.
If I need to clear up anything let me know because I may have been unclear about certain issues. I really appreciate any help or comments.
Thanks in advance
Kris
