Buffalo Technology released a 1.02 firmware upgrade for the LinkStation Pro Duo, which I own. As I mentioned in another post, they didn’t release it in a Mac-compatible format. Boo, hiss.
So, I tried upgrading it from my wife’s old Windows laptop. The upgrade application featured broken English messages. Very nice. All your base are belong to us. Read More
Has anyone out there configured a LinkStation Pro Duo 2.0TB NAS drive with a Mac?
This LinkStation unit comes with a “NAS Navigator” application, which is supposed to find it on the network.
But it doesn’t. The application doesn’t find s***.
I don’t need NAS Navigator, since I can set up the LinkStation from a browser. (I.e., the admin interface is accessible at 192.168.1.xxx…) But it bugs me that stuff like this doesn’t work out of the box. It would have been faster if the instructions just said, “Start fishing for your new LinkStation, starting with the lowest DHCP address generated by your DHCP server. Happy hunting.” It’s what I eventually did.
