New Release - Firmware Version 2.3.01 for the WD Sharespace (9/12/11)

[AppleFanboi]

I have the same problem, when I go to the web interface I just get a blank screen.

mini_httpd is running, I even did a restart, checked the permissions on the all the files, the mini_httpd log doesn't have anything useful, just that it can't find favicon.ico

I did a netstat and saw that it was listening on port 80 & 445, and as a previous poster mentioned, I can get to the twonky server via port 9000

Any other ideas?

Wait for the fix to the fix.

I did.

I was using Firefox at first, then tried in Safari, no go.

At least I can connect to it from Lion now without using having to resort to NFS

Im a mac/ pc/ linux/ android user and i cant reach SS anyway.. Im sure that we all tried to reboot, use another computer, pray, sleep hoping that everything will be ok next day before we post our threats here.. As i said before.. I do appreciate everyone's help but we ( me at least) are clueless about this issue.. My SS is unreachable.. But i still receive message from the deads.. Lol (i still receive emails from SS status... Lol)... Anyway... We must have serious help here... We dont even have a starting point... Tks

I can no longer access the WDSharespace from my 10.5.8 Mac Mini and 10.6.8 MacBook Pro via AFP. The follow error occurs: Connection failed. The server may not exist at the time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again. The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in afp://WDSharespace could not be read or written (Error code -36)

However, I can connect via SMB://WDSharespace on 10.5.8 and 10.6.8.

How the **bleep** can WD release a firmware update and still break things? Doesn't WD QC these things? Is this WD way, "let have the consumer users field test official relase firmware?"

Absolutely, terrible. 1st you release a NAS with 1Gb ethernet that runs at 10Mb/sec. Now you release a firmware that breaks connectivity. Bravo!

Still having connectivity issues - can't connect via the smb share or via the gui. device boots up, 4 blinking greens and a green power light. power light goes off after about 10 secs and 4 greens remain solid. network connection light is green.

As far as I can tell this firmware bricked the device... anyone have ANY suggestions on how I can gain access, at all? I contacted WD Support but they haven't responded.

@fatboy. This message is most likely caused by the AFP daemon not running (happened to me). Try rebooting or, sigh... you can login to the sharespace via ssh if the ssh daemon is working.  invoke the command; "/etc/init.d/S91atalk start"

do a "ps -ef | grep -i afp" to see if the afpd is running. It will look similar to this if it is:

1162 root       1520 S < /usr/sbin/afpd -g nobody -c 50 -n Rhododendron

Hello again.. I've been looking around in the forum and I realized that this is not the first time users bricked their SS after a firmware update.. What they did to solve this issue? The worst part is that I cant ssh my SS.. its compleatly blocked.. Is there a way to force a full factory restore?? I dont care about the data anymore.. I just dont want to toss my nas away.. Thanks again.

Hi All

I have updated SS to latest microcode, but I always get reset to factory defaults after each power cycle or reboot SS.

How can I fix it?
How can I downgrade firmware?

Best regards,
