Has anyone hit this problem ? I am using both Windows and Mac shares (Time machine is active). After 1 or 2 weeks it stops being recognized by the Mac. If I use the Buffalo utility to scan for the drive, it does not show up! I have it configured for STATIC IP and can PING it with no problem. A reboot of the NAS drive cures for another week or two. Any hits or tips? How can I fix this? I am not using USB so I just turned that off...thinking maybe it will help. I am open to suggestions.
** Updated: I just realized there is a 1.64 firmware update. Before I put that on my running drive, do I need to backup ? And does anyone know if 1.64 fixes any hanging issues ? Would be nice to know that applying the update would help at all. thanks! The online web interface says "The latest firmware is already installed on your LinkStation. *** So I guess 1.64 is not valid ? It is a little confusing... :(
Well I will answer my own question for the firmware. The 1.64 went on without issues. I am crossing my fingers to see if it corrects the hang condition. I am still interested in other comments or from Buffalo on the possibility of this fixing the hang I describe.
