Flash The The LinkStation firmware flasher

  • Disable any firewall(s), including any built-in Windows firewall
  • Make sure the LinkStation and your PC are on the same sub-network. This likely requires that you change the IP address (and probably the subnet-mask) of your PC to a different (and static) IP address: 192.186.11.XXX
  • Run the firmware updater executable HD-HGLAN FWUpdate-english.exe
  • After finding your LinkStation, press the "Renew Firmware" button, and wait. Have patience, and keep your calm. If you think the Firmware updater is acting strange, do not try to disconnect the LinkStation or abort the update in another way.
  • After flashing connect your LinkStation up to the network with subnet 192.168.1.XXX
  • Find your LinkStation on the network and Telnet to it with PuTTYtel You will be at the root shell.

Login to the machine and get started

# telnet 192.168.1.XXX
Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 %h
root@LinkStation:/#

Change the root password

passwd root

Troubleshooting Windows shares (samba) - guest access

1. Pick a directory you wish to share ie: /mnt/share and change the access permissions to make it readable and writable to everybody. 

mkdir /mnt/share
chmod 777 /mnt/share

2. Add the [share] section to /etc/samba/smb.conf 

[global]
 security = share
 workgroup = MSHOME
 create mode = 777
 directory mode = 777

[share]
 comment = LinkStation Share
 path = /mnt/share
 read only = no 
 public = yes

3. Restart Samba on the Linkstation with this command: 

/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart

tar -C / -xvzf libid3tag_0.15.1b-binaries-ppc.tar.gz
tar -C / -xvzf mtdaapd_0.2.4-binaries-ppc.tar.gz
mv /etc/mt-daapd.SAMPLE /etc/mt-daapd
  • Then edit /etc/mt-daapd/*. When done,

if [ -n "`pidof ccxstream`" ] ; then
   killall ccxstream 2>/dev/null

fi
 
# see /opt/doc/ccxstream/README for the full summary on
# command-line options, but the terse summary is that
# -r is the directory to "share" using ccxstream, and is
# probably the option you most want to adjust.
#

sleep 2
/opt/sbin/ccxstream -r /mnt/share -u username -f -F /var/run/ccxstream.pid
