If a shared folder does not open on NAS Navigator2
The LinkStation may not be physically connected or may not be recognized properly. Reconnect the
Ethernet cable and restart your computer and the LinkStation.
A shared folder does not open suddenly
If you use a shared folder on the LinkStation as a network drive, you may not be able to access to the
LinkStation when the IP address or the workgroup has changed.
In such a case, follow the instructions in “Opening the Shared Folder” on page 25 and open the
shared folder on the LinkStation by using NAS Navigator2.
Notes:
• On Mac OS, LinkStation is mounted as a drive icon on the desktop, or displayed in the sidebar
on Finder.
• If the problem still persists after you tried the procedures described above on Mac OS, select
[System]-[Storage]-[Disks]-[Check Disk]-[Delete any hidden, non-essential MacOS dedicated
files] on the Web Admin interface, and run Disk Check.
If a shared folder does not open even though NAS Navigator 2 recognizes the LinkStation
If power outage occurred or the AC adapter is unplugged while the LinkStation is ON, the
LinkStation’s firmware may be corrupted and shared folders may not open (You can search for
folders on NAS Navigator2 but they do not open).
Note:
In such a case, the LinkStation name displayed on NAS Navigator2 or the Web Admin interface
on the LinkStation is displayed as LS-XHL-EM abc(abc stands for last 3 digits of the MAC
address of the LinkStation) or LS-CHL-EM abc, LS-WXL-EM abc, LS-WSXL-EM abc,. In such a case,
download the latest firmware from BUFFALO's website (www.buffalotech.com) and update it.
Cause 9.
TCP/IP does not work properly. Install the LAN adapter’s driver again.
Cause 10.
You are running Setup second time or more (it has been already run before). After
initializing the LinkStation, follow steps described in “LinkNavigator Setup” on page 5 to run Setup.
Note:
When using Power Management with PC feature, you need to install NAS Navigator2 on all
computers connected within the same network as the LinkStation
