Title: Time Machine setup - Host fields missing
Post by: greggwith3G on December 08, 2011, 11:38:13 AM

Linkstation Duo LS-WX2.0TL/R1 with firmware 1.54; MacBook Pro 10.6.8

In web interface, Extensions - Time Machine, I can enable the extension and select a Target Folder, but the Mac Information section doesn't display at all, so I can't enter "Target host name" or "Target MAC address". Target Folder is set up with Apple Support enabled. I've restarted the Linkstation and also tried configuring on both a PC and Mac. Thanks for any thoughts!

I am having this same problem. did you find a resolution?

About a year ago I did get this working with my mac but now I am trying to add another mac and have the same issue you describe. There have been firmware updates since then. Perhaps one of the updates broke this?

These fields have been removed since the 1.52 firmware, you only need to enable the service and select the share you want to use.

Thanks for the reply! I don't think the Buffalo documentation has caught up with this change. I should have just kept moving on to the Mac setup piece. I appreciate your help!
