Hi,
I've recently got a Linkstation mini 1TB LS-WS1.0TGL/R1 and am trying to get it working. It is connected via my home router, which can see the linkstation as being connected. The web configuration interface is accessable however trying to connect to the drive from my computer (Windows XP professional SP3) to save any files is impossible.
When I first installed the linkstation I rebuilt the RAID array to RAID1 and this seemed fine, the disk check reports no problems with the array. However the drive is now seemingly innaccessible
The drive is seen by NASNavigator but clicking on browse or right click and "Browse shares" results in nothing happening (i had previously been getting an error message "default share cannot be found" but this is now no longer seen) I note that following the rebuild of the array and re-format the "Share" share originally on the drive is no longer there, however the "info" share is still present. Recreating "share"has no effect on accessing the drive.
Trying to connect directly by typing the IP into a windows run box gives an error of "the network location cannot be reached"
Im wondering could this be either a firewall problem - I have checked the logs of both my software firewall (AVG) and the firewall on the router but can see no instances of traffic to the linkstation's IP being blocked. Or perhaps a windows services problem - does anyone know which services need to be enabled to allow access to a NAS device - I currently have numerous services disabled for security reasons.
Many thanks in advance - hope that all made sense to someone!
