I've opened this thread as many have seemed confused as to the model of linkstation that has had their Media server fail. With the upgrade of the LS-WSXL1.0TL/R1 from 1.24 to 1.31 the media server has failed to startup successfully. The media serve is no longer detectable by any DLNA clients except Itunes. Please repost firmware 1.24 so we can go back to a working version.

That 1.24 will not work as that is another model device and they bundeled the firmwares for multiple devices as of 1.25.
And this one : http://www.buffalo-technology.com/support/getfile/?LS-WSXL-fw124.zip ?
BINGO! 1.24 from your link worked!!! Hurray. Once force the firmware back to 1.24 from 1.31 and now my media server works on my linkstation!!, Bufffalo techs 1.24 is good . 1.31 is not.
