LS-CHL with UNKNOWN workgroup

[Sotic]

I have recently had a problem with my Linkstation which has been working fine. I was unable to connect across the network, I was also unable to access it via web interface. I tried to run the setup again and it did see the device but it reported back that the device had the workgroup set to UNKNOWN. I have been unable to access the device in any way. I have tried to set it back to factory default but this also has no impact.

 

I thought about upgrading the firmware but unless I can connect it directly to a laptop I can not communicate with it.

 

Does anyone have any ideas

is the unit reported as being in EM mode in the nas navigator? What is the current hostname?

[Sotic]

Unit is in EM mode and

 

Host name - LS-CHL-V2-EMCBE

wORKGROUP-   UNKNOWN

IP Address     192.168.1.65

Subnet Mask    255 255 255 0



DEfault gateway     192.168.1.254

 

Hope this helps

download the 1.34 firmware from the Buffalo website and run the LSUpdater.exe file.
