[michaelus]

   

Hi guys, i have 6 month old linkstation CH 500 L - EU and i am having issues with it constanly disappering from the network.

 

i have it mapped to letter L. sometimes this opens, sometimes error that it cannot be accessed.

 

I have it in the auto mode (that means it should sleep / wake ) according to the PC.

 

The light is Blue and disc is spinnign.

Cannot access the web admin http://192.168.0.2/cgi-bin/top.cgi">http://192.168.0.2/cgi-bin/top.cgi

nor can i access the torrent admin

 

in NASNavigator2 i click refresh and nothing. map again, nothing.

I would recommen a firmware flash, and also if and when you can get into the device set a static ip address on it.  Also turn off firewalls and antivirus programs.

how do i do this flash?i now have firmware 1.06

 

also you would recommend PERMANENTLY to disable the firewall and antivirus? i am not really keen on doing that. (i tried now to disable norton security but not difference)

 

the only way how i can "connect " to the disc to unplug it of mains and then plug it back in. then it all comes to sences. for a while that is.

 

the device really doesnt seem that great now.

 

btw i have it on perm IP and the IP is reserved by router too
