Please HELP!!

I'm having the same problem here after upgrading to the latest firmware. I cant connect to the GUI, cant connect via AFP or SMB. Im totaly lost here...

The upgrade went fine, but after the system rebooted i lost all connections.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on? It seems that a lot of people are facing this issue.

WD!! Help US!!!

If you don't care about data, then open the case as per manual, make HDD numbers and change order of HDDs. It should make full system restore from ROM and reformat all HDDs. Don't cut the power for 35-40 hours while all four HDD LEDs blink in green.

That wouldn't be the first thing i'd try......

Have you tried a full power-down (let sit for 10 min), and restart? Have you tried to access from another computer on your network?

After updating the firmware on my Sharespace (wich went fine), I can't connect to it via Time Machine.

Same error.

Seems like http service is not running.

I can connect to twonky on port 9000.

port scan identifies 21, 849,1025,2049,9000 and 61225.

I do care about my data.. I bought this NAS thinking about protection against hardware failure.. but software failure??? comon.. this is ridiculous.. The firmware upgrade went smooth with no errors.. how come something like this happens???

For serious.. i think apple should rule this bussiness... just tell me who in this world have time to worry about this issues??

Before the firmware I was facing random power shutdown, connection instability, my router´s log was flooded with wierd messages coming from SS.. serious... I really appreciate everyone´s help but didn´t WD tested the firmware before??

The" best thing" is that I spent a lot of money buying this NAS ( i´m not in USA) and I can´t see how to trust my data anymore on SS.... IF someday it´ll be running again.... This is pissing me off.. sorry about this bla bla bla.

Upgraded and now the system won't come back online. It reboots, 4 blinking lights, then the power light goes off.

Any suggestions?

It sound like the http server is not running. The quickest way to try and fix it is to do another reboot in hopes it will auto-start. Barring that, if you are comfortable in the Linux world, login to the sharespace via ssh and try to start it by hand. The startup file is in /etc/init.d. do "/etc/init.d/S55mini_httpd start".

This assumes the upgrde did, in fact, go to 100% to completion, otherwise not so good for you.

If you can't login via ssh, then the sshd daemon isn't running and you can only try another reboot.
