After Linkstation FW update WebAccess fails

[p128194]

   

I have a brand new LS-CH1.0TL, originally with version 1.10, now 1.21 firmware version. With the original fw version, I was able to set up the WebAccess for the local network (192.168.0.x) but not from outside - so, rather useless - which is why I tried updating the fw. Now, however, I cannot set up WebAccess at all. Autoconfigure firewall -option never worked, so I had to select an external port manually. No matter what port I select, I always get an empty "Error" -message box. Everything else seems to work just like it did before the update. I still do not quite understand, if the port 9000 is something that should have been avoided. The manual was ambiguous about it. Now, the main question is, can I reset this situation somehow? I do not mean going back to original fw version, just getting the WebAccess to work even if it just works with the local network.http://lh3.ggpht.com/_tuJBAidTqT8/SzsYJdeqA_I/AAAAAAAABAA/k4oeAt7DZFE/s912/DSC_8706.JPG" width="427" align="left">

Yes you want to use port 9000 for web access and forward that in your router.  If it stopped working since the update i would check to make sure it didnt change IP addresses.

Thanks for the prompt reply. In fact, nothing else worked but restoring the factory settings. Now it (=WebAccess) works as before, i.e., locally but not from outside. At least now I can continue figuring out how to configure the router. The real problem is though, that I do not even know where the problem is. Maybe the ISP is blocking this port, or perhaps it is the PC:s firewall (in order to successfully update the firmware, it was necessary to hook the LinkStation directly to PC) and not the router.
