Cannot access linkstation in File Explorer
« on: July 20, 2018, 09:57:19 PM »
My LS-WVLF89: LinkStation is no longer accessible in File Explorer.  I can see the device in Network->Media Devices, but when I click on it, my browser opens a webpage for something called twonky.   The Twonky server is definitely on my local network because it has an unroutable IP address.  I can see some of my files (specifically, music, videos, and photos in this format although the organization of them has been lost).  I cannot see other files like Word and pdf documents.  I don't want to ever see twonky again.  I just want my normal file structure back.

Why did it change?  How do I prevent it from changing again?  How do I again access the files with explorer?  I just want to mount the linkstation as a network drive.

What OS are you using? If Win10 is SMB1 still enabled on the PC?
PM me for TFTP / Boot Images / Recovery files  LSRecovery.exe file.
Having network issues? Drop me an email: info@interwebnetworks.com and we will get it fixed!

Thank you.  This was exactly my problem.   Apparently Microsoft in its infinite wisdom disabled SMB when it updated to Creator's edition.
