DLink DI-624+ => problems accessing NAS on the LAN

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

Hi *

My Wireless Access point is a Dlink DI-624+ rev A2
I have 3 laptops (WinXP) connected using DWL-G650+ NIC's.
Directly wired to the DI-624+, there is a Linksys EFG120 NAS.

I recently upgraded the DI-624+ firmware to 1.19b09.
Since then I have problems accessing files on the NAS.
The laptop hangs and has to wait for a timeout.
After that, I get a "the specified network name is no longer
available" message and I have to refresh explorer to get the network
drive back.

I already replaced the cable between the DI-624+ and the EFG120.
Didn't help.
When I connect the Laptop directly to the NAS (using a cross cable),
there's no problem.

Upgraded to firmware 1.21. (Found on the Swedish support site)...
didn't help.
Performed a full reset... didn't help.

Is there a possible explanation?
Can I go back to an older firmware? I can't find these on the
internet.

Thank you,
J.

Have you looked here ftp://ftp.dlink.co.uk/di_broadband_gateways/

By the way, some routers,APs, have an option to save an image of your
firmware on your harddrive. Good to do this for reason like this...........

Hi,

The ftp site to which you refer is very relevant, but it only offers a
very recent 1.19 firmware (which seemed to have caused my troubles in
the first place). On the Swedish dlink ftp site, it's even possible
to pick up the 1.21 version.

I'm actually more interested in the original 1.01 version of the
firmware.

Thx anyway,
J.
