I got it working!!!!!!!! Finally.
Thanks for tips. I'm now runniong Beta firmware and it seems to work. I will do some additional tests because Im not feeling too confident at the moment.
Anyway what seemed to have helped was :
- LS started with looking for 192.168.11.1 as it was supposed to but for some reason it kept assigning itself a new address from 169.254.x.x. This was solved by changing my computers static IP to subnet then the update would work.. somewhat it still kept c:ashing though
- I booted Windows to safe + networking and did the update there - this helped but what really seemed to have helped was probably the thing I overlooked as I wasnt sure what were the explicit instructions for Linkstation LS-XHL update concerning this:
---- I copied the two named files from firmware to TFTP folder according to instructions - yes I suppose they were in one of those FAQs. After that IT WORKED - I got the Japanese version via Web Access. Now I have rebooted it and still it comes up ok.
Me so happy but need to do more testing though to be able to trust this.
