Hello. I've got a HSDH500GL 500 GB Linkstation Live that I've owned since April. It's been fine til about a month ago - it's turned itself off a couple of times and i woke up one morning and it was beeping constantly. I was due to take all the data off it this week and do a complete reset on it, and I suddenly can't access it at all. I can see from my router/modem that it's picking a dhcp address up which I can ping. I can't map to \\IP\share or \\IP\info or \\hostname\share or \\hostname\info
Putting the IP address into a browser URL bar doesn't work and running the Nas Navigator software doesn't find it at all. I've booted it a couple of times and it keeps picking an IP address up but I can't connect to it from any one of 3 computers (2 xp and 1 Vista.) I know it's not security software on the clients as a - nothing's changed on that, b - it's different on each one i've tried to connect from and c - i've tried turning it all off. i've tried ftp connection and it's refused. i'm pretty sure i could crack the drive out of the unit and restore my data from it, but presumably that invalidates the warranty. can anyone help with this please? thanks.
