WOW what a thread - I have the same issues but still am unsure of what to do. First the hardware
PC : Athlon 64 3000 - 2 GHz 2GB ram
OS : XP SP3
Nas: HS-DH500GL firmware 2.10
Network - wired through 10/100 switch homeplug to Media Player
Media Player D-Link DSM510
My dlink can see the linkstation but can not read any songs / files directly
(0/0 files). If I use Twonty on the PC and leave it turned on all is fine. But like many others that was not why I did the research and bought a DLNA Linkstation!!!!
I have set PC cast and subnets but not set static ip's (yet - do I have to?), but I am wondering if some sort of software is required on the NAS. If this is the case how do I do it?
The Things I think I should do
1. Set static IP for LS
2. Se static IP for DMS 510
3 Set the LinkStation:
Model: HS-DH500GL
Firmware: 2.10
PCast settings:
Media Servers: Enable
Media Folder: MyMedia
PCast Password: Disabled
Limit DLNA Client Access: Disabled
Update Media List: Automatic Update
4. Update the firmware -but to 2.10 or 2.11 is not clear or try the force firmware reflash method found here and then re-initialize. Maintenance->Initialization->Restore
And that should be it.
I am a bit uncertain about the firmware update, the questions are
a. I am in the uk where should I down load it
b. Do I have to run the forced method first or should I just run the exe file?
Can some in the Know (Paul / Moderator) confirm that is the right steps required
Much help would be grateful
