Title: Not able to access Link Station through Buffalonas.com
Post by: rosec on February 20, 2013, 05:04:39 AM

I have just set up my LS-WXL672 LinkStation.  Initially both via the app on myiPad, and through the internet I was able to access the folders, now I just get "Internet Explorer can not display web page on the PC and Error could not connect to the server on the iPad.  Can anyone help please!

PM me your buffalonas.com name and I'll test it. Is web access working if you try and access it from a local pc?

You need to open port 47442 for TCP in your router to the Linkstations local IP address (as it appears in the nas navigator)

Sorry but how do I do that.  I am looking at the router and the closest I get is Port Forwarding where I have to identify the app and then the device

Contact your router support directly, if it is a Buffalo router then let me know the model number and I can help.

I have opened the port and still it does not work.  The difference now is that the iPad times out, and the PC says it can't find the IP address!
