Yesterday I got the 1 TB version of the LinkStation Live and I've been trying to update the firmware without any success. The firmware I'm trying to update to is v1.06 that's available here:
http://www.buffalo-technology.com/support/downloads/linkstation-live-with-bittorrent/
Here's how the procedure is going for me:
1. Start LSUpdater application, it locates the LS Live device at 192.168.0.1
2. Select the force update from the Debug menu and click OK
3. Click the update button on the app and after a progress bar I am greeted with:
Couldn't confirm a response from LS.
please check a network address of both PC and LS
Please disable the Firewall function if it is working on PC.
Updating is aborted.
The LSUpdater.ini file is now looking like this:
[Application]
Title = BUFFALO LS-CHL Updater Ver.1.06
WaitReboot = 480
WaitFormat = 500
[Target]
ProductID = 0x00000010
Name = LS-CHL
[Flags]
VersionCheck = 0
[SpecialFlags]
Debug = 1
If I log on to the Web interface of the LS it is telling me the following system info:
LinkStation Name LS
LinkStation Description LinkStation Live II
Model Name LS-CHL
Firmware Version 1.01
Current Date and Time 2009/1/18 15:14:10
Windows Network Workgroup NameWORKGROUP
AppleTalk FunctionDisabled
AppleShare Network Zone Settings
FTP Server Function Enabled
Email Alert Notification Disabled
Fan Status Normal
.
Any ideas why the firmware update is not working? There is no firewall running on the PC (OS: Windows XP) and the device installation wizard on the CD completes successfully. The device is directly connected to the PC via an RJ45 crossover cable.
