Buffalo Forums

Hello,

I have a windows 7 ultimate PC with a Buffalo NAS LS-WX20TL connected on a Buffalo router.

I have ZoneAlarm Extrem Security running and the NAS won't wake up on LAN !

I shut down ZA : NAS wakes up. Put ZA back on again : NAS goes to sleep after 2-3 minutes.

Everything works fine when NAS switch is on ON (means NAS stays always on, no sleep mode)

Any idea ?

It is a setting within the ZA firewall, have you tried NAS Navi 2.24 to see if it helps?  But this is a common problem within ZA program, you will need to allow an exception within the firewall for it to wake on lan

Hello,

Thanks for your help. And YES that the point : I cannot find the place to open the firewall to make the WOL works. I have tried to open some ports but to no avail so far. Only shutting down ZA makes the NAS to wake up...

I have an other PC on the same network also on Windows 7 but with a different (free) firewall : COMODO. No problem there !

I have the latest NAS Navi 2.24

Hello there,

ZoneAlarm recommends that Buffalo tests their NAS on a PC on which ZA is installed in order to find out the source of the problem.

Is this forum under Buffalo control somehow ? If yes, please do something !

Thanks...

Why? The issue lies with Zone Alarm, do you expect Buffalo to test there equipment with every single firewall out on the market? Good luck with that!

Were one of the ports you opened port 9?
