Lost connection to LinkStation Mini
« on: April 21, 2009, 06:10:51 PM »
   

LinkStation Mini had been working fine.

 

I disconnected my hard wired connected laptop from the network for the weekend.  When I reconnected, I started getting an auto message about the EM mode and to check NASNavigator.  Can't recall the exact details.

 

In any case Nas Nav could not find Link Station on the network.  Downloaded latest version of NasNav 2.15.

 

Same problem - could not fine LinkStation on the network.

 

Started in EM mode - same problem.

 

Reset unit and blue boot light will not stop blinking.  NasNav still can not be located on network. 

 

Turn off and of without reset, blue light is off, but NasNav still cannot fint unit. 

 

This is the case for direct connect to computer or when connected through a network switch.

 

Any ideas?

Generally when a unit is in EM mode you need to update the firmware.  Make sure you disable all firewalls and make sure the NASNAVI is closed while doing the update.  If you need to boot your computer into safe mode with networking to avoid any software confliction.
