Another WRT600N storage link bug with Vista

Yet another annoyance with the WRT600N and Vista. Files made by the vista box on storage link (or made by xp, mixed system) suddenly become "write protected" but not really. Upon trying to delete files on this storage linked media, I get this error message:
An unexpected error is preventing the operation. Make a note of this error code, which might be useful if you get additional help to resove this problem: Error 0x8007045D: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.
This seems to be a permissions snafu between the linked storage and Vista. The XP box can usually delete this stuff. Checking properties shows it to be completely free of read only or other flags that would prevent the deletion.
Any idea?

I'm getting the same problem only with the Linksys WRT650N router. I have a 1TB Cavalry USB drive connected, formatted NTFS (by Vista). I have Vista Business x64. 4gig RAM, AMD Athalon x2 6400 @ 3.4Ghz.
If I repair the LAN connection I can delete two files and then it goes back to saying I don't have the permissions.
Micorsoft says it's Linksys' problem. I haven't talked with Linksys because I just know they are going to say it's MS' problem.
Anyway, anybody have any ideas or solutions to this problem?

WRT600N Storage Link Problems

I'm just adding to the litany of woes regarding the problems with the Storage Link feature on this router, but I wanted to point out some specifics based on my sorry experience, since others seem to be somewhat different or lacking in detail. Here is my summary:
Router firmware version 1.0.36 Build 4 (one release up from what is currently on Linksys' web site)
Connected Western Digital My Book 750GB USB 2.0 external drive, first formatted via computer to NTFS, and then plugged in to the router's USB port..
Got everything set up properly including shared folders on external drive, user access, permissions, etc, and mapped network drives on laptop (Vista Home Premium) and desktop (XP Home) computers, so far so good.
Attempted (twice) a drive image backup of laptop using StorageCraft ShadowProtect Desktop 3.2 (latest release). Backup completed (44GB), and I could see the file on the external network drive, but file was corrupt and failed verification.
After much research, decided to re-format the external network drive using the router's formatting capability. Discovered that router will only format using FAT32, but proceeded anyhow, and again successfully set up shared folders, user access, permissions, etc.
Since FAT32 will not address files larger than 4 GB, decided to abandon a drive image backup, so tried a files-and-folders backup from the laptop using Genie Backup Manager Home 8.0. This was successful as long as I didn't try to back up so many files and folders that the resulting file was larger than 4GB.
Also copied individual files and folders over to external drive with no problem, but had to exclude a video file that was slightly larger than 4 GB.
Re-formatted the external network drive to NTFS again using the computer, and tried another files-and-folders backup from the laptop using Genie, this time purposely selecting enough files to push the backup file size over 4 GB. This should have worked since the drive was formatted to NTFS, but the backup failed twice.
Conclusion: Storage Link implementation only allows basic capability to move files and folders less than 4 GB in size due to it's FAT32 format limitation, and is totally unsuitable for using automated backup software to backup large numbers of files or do drive imaging to the network drive. So if all you want to do is move files manually to the network drive, and don't have any huge files larger than 4 GB, and don't care about automated backups, then Storage Link seems to work OK. However, IMHO, this is WAY too limiting, and does not even come close to a NAS solution. I'm returning my router today, because it is hard to tell when a firmware upgrade might be released that would remove these serious limitations.
Sorry if this it really long, but I felt the details are important if anyone from Linksys is reading this.

Hi All I have just seen exactly the same issue with some files I use which are 4.7GB. If I try and move the files from the computer to the storage which connected to the router I get a message that I dont have enough space. I get the same error if I put the files on via the computer and then connect the storage back to the router and try and access them. In this day and age over 4GB is not a massive file and this is a bit of a poor show :-( Cheers Phil

WRT600N Storage Link Does Not Work

This is a great idea, but simply does not appear to work.
Situation: WinXP Pro box, Win Vista Premium box, assorted XP home laptops, etc. Want to store common files on the router's storage link for access from anywhere on the wired or wireless network.
Problem: Folders created on the linked USB hard drive were originally fully accessible by any computer on the network, but became somehow unreadable and unwriteable -- EVEN TO THE WRT WEB INTERFACE
Can't read files in these folders, can't write either, of course. Can't even use the WRT600's web interface to "delete" the folder. (returns a page not found error in IE7). "Edit" doesn't work either -- page loads for edits, but attempting to save changes gives a page not found or "cannot display the web page" error. This doesn't work in Firefox, either.
As I try to create a folder now via the web interface with firefox, I see that doesn't work either. It takes the name, refreshes the screen as if something's being created, but on return, nothing is there. Same now with IE7. Sigh, this just gets worse as I double-check and try to get this post properly prepared.
Just reset this thing, and it let me (via web interface) create and delete one folder, but then stopped working 30 seconds later.
I tested a USB stick and got similar terrible results.
I'm running the latest firmware *.35
This thing simply doesn't work. It's not even a good beta. I'll have to advise anyone considering a purchase of this router to forget it. What a frustrating waste of time and money.

Yes, I'm reluctant to also, like so many others, report that the WRT600N fails to perform without error in the handling of an attached usb harddrive.
It does not maintain a stable user priviledge base, even loosing administrator access privledges to the drive.
I have reformatted the drive using the WRT600N web interface. This made sure the harddrive was formated using the native drivers in the device (FAT32). I suspect that this device uses an internal linux variant and it's my understanding that NTFS formats (of which I think there are at least 4 versions) are not well supported under linux. This did not improve the reliability of the drive. I wonder if the priveledge table is not stored on the drive, but in some internal memory, and it's not stable.
Any suggestions?

WRT600N Storage Link FTP Server problems

I have the WRT600N wireless router which has a Storage Link capable of being turned into an FTP Server. I have set up the FTP server, and I can see folders, but not files within the folders. I have it set up to display the /public/FTP_Server folder as the FTP server, I have a Jpeg file in the folder, but I cannot see it in the FireFox FTP browser. When I type /hello.jpg at the end of the address line, it says "No such file" or something like that. How do I access my files on the server? My server is ftp://the-sir-lar-network.ath.cx and the file is in that folder and it's called "hello.jpg". EDIT: Log in with username: guest password:"" (no password)

Storage Link and Window Vista Home Basic

Can someone tell me if the follwoing is true so I won't waste time searching. Since Window Vista Home Basic is not networkable so it won't see the storage link device connected to the WRT610N router. If so, is there anyway to get it work?
Thanks,

It should see the storage link device connected to the WRT610N router...You need to MAP your Network Drive...
Try this :
Click Start, Click Network.You will be notified if file sharing is turned off. Click the message.Click Turn on network discovery and file sharing.Double-click WRT610N listed in the Computer category (do not double-click WRT610N listed in the Network Infrastructure category).If you do not see the WRT610N listed in the Computer category, then enter the default server name, WRT610N in the Search field, and press the Enter key.See the Advanced Configuration section later in thisAppendix for information on how to change the server name.In the User name and Password fields, enter the default User name and password, admin. If you want to change the password, see the Advanced Configuration section later in this Appendix. Click OK.To map the Default shared folder to your computer, right-click Default. Click Map Network Drive.Keep the default Drive letter, or select the letter you want to use from the Drive drop-down menu.On your desktop, double-click My Computer. The Default shared folder of your USB storage is listed under Network Location.To access your USB storage, double-click the Default shared folder. You can use the Default shared folder as another drive on your network.

Audigy ZS Bug with Vista 32 b

Hi, (I?beg your pardon?for my english)?When I install a Audigy? 2 ZS Card in my Notebook ACER Aspire 9302WSMi I never can use the microphone.(Vista 32bits)?Message Edited by PhBaum on 0-9-200709:02 AM

I realize you're using the PCMCIA version so this may not apply.
But the Audigy?2 ZS PCI version has many issues with Vista 32.
My most annoying issue is very low volume output.
Creative is unable or unwilling to fix these issues.
Last driver update was 8 months ago.
It is so bad that I am now using my motherboard's integrated sound (SigmaTel)
You may want to dump this card and get different brand.
Once upon a time I had a perfectly good Creative webcam running on win 98.
Creative didn?t support it on XP.
Needless to say I didn't buy another Creative webcam.
Needless to say I won't be buying another Creative soundcard either.

Dyn Link BUG with AE and AME

Do This
1) Drag a clip into AE
2) Crop beginning of clip in comp by i.e. 200 frames
3) adjust inpoint work area
4) hit Adjust Comp to Workarea
5) save Project and open AME
6) Drag over the compostion to AME
7) render out the file
AME will NOT regard the NEW composition adjustments and thus render the 200 frames you cut off to the beginning of the movie...
Either I am doing something wrong (I hope but I don think so) or this is a BUUUUG...

WRT600N and WUSB600N Storage-Link breakthrough!

So I have been playing with this combo for 3 weeks now and have been unable to transfer large files over the network or from the storage-link.
However, today I have achieved a breakthrough. As usual I was going over my settings and realized that for the first time none of my other wireless adapters I use have WMM support, and they all work fine. The WUSB600n has WMM support. So I went into the router (I suppose I could have done it at the adapter as well), and disabled WMM (keep in mind it won't disable correctly with firmware prior to 36.)
Voila! All of a sudden I can transfer all of my files no problem. Also here is the real kicker, trasnfers to and from the storage-link drive got faster. I don't have hard numbers, but I can tell you the transfer times for large files seem to be down 30%.
Next up is to see if this somehow affected the PS3 and that DLNA protocol error.

UPDATE! This does indeed seem to have fixed the PS3 DLNA protocol error message. I'm not sure if WMM is broken in the WRT600N, but disabling it is making this thing work like a dream.
Keep in mind like I said you need the newest firmware to disable it, in prior firmware versions it wouldn't actually disable.
Another twist in my testing has shown that the WUSB600N does not like being plugged into a USB port that has 1.1 devices on the same root hub (may go for 2.0 devices as well).
Update 2: I give up, so apparently I can fix either of these problems, but not both at the same time. If I run the media server (with WMM disabled) I don't have the problem with the PS3, but the WUSB600N adapter craps out. Otherwise I can disable both the media server and WMM and the WUB600N works great, but I lose the media server.
This whole thing sounds like a memory issue to me (I'm an embedded software engineer, I have been there). They probably never tested everything running in parallel. Anyway I give up, I am going to go buy a Synology NAS and just use the WRT600N as a router. (Linksys definitely won't be getting anymore of my business).

E71 Firmware Bug with USB Mass Storage.

Hi,
Just got a e71, it has the latest firmware, it's mostly good except for this bug.
If you install a new theme on a memory card and then attempt to use the USB for mass storage it will always lock the card no matter how you disconnect from the USB, it always reports Memory card in use.
What is supposed to happen is the phone is supposed to switch to a theme on the phone memory and unload the theme on the card, it does indeed switch themes, but does not unload the theme on the card, so the only way to free the card is to reboot the phone.
If anyone from Nokia is looking at this forum, you guys need to fix these little bugs with the firmware. A update to the OS the E71x is using would be nice by the way. I paid a lot of money for this unlocked phone and expect it to be rock solid.

I had this problem with the memory card. All you do is set the USB connection to PC suit and not Mass Storage. If it's in PC suit mode you don't loose the memory card and it always let you access it. I never bother with mass storage anymore. Also set to don't ask if you want. I ahve no issues since I di this and am using the 200 firmware.
To transfer files to the card I go into my computer, double click the picture of the nokia E71 and then double click the memory card and access it that way. Hope this helps as it's a pain installing everything on the phone.
Just another quick tip if you download the themes through your phone like me once installed and after a re-start something may try and install and fail once your phone starts up. It will do this everytime you re-start your phone. To fix the issue you have to browse the memory card with 'view hidden folders' selected in Windows and delete certain sis files from a certain folder. I can't remember off the top of my head but it explains it in another post in this forum. I can't take the credit for it.

Less than two week old iPad Air crashes with youtube/netflix and Safari when loading pages with video (i.e. Buzzfeed with links to youtube and vine). What's up with iPad Air's bugs with videos??

Week and a half old iPad Air crashes with light usage of youtube, netflix and safari pages with video links to youtube and vine. The consistency of problems with videos has led me to determine that it must be bugs with iPad Air. Anyone else having this problem?
Details: iPad Air 16gb wifi, have only used about 25% of space and always close all apps before opening another. I also have only had a max of two tabs open on safari of basic internet surfing (i.e. A google search page, or imdb for example). These crashes are annoying as sh......

I can well imagine that they are.
I would backup, restore to factory settings, restore from the backup and then try again. If that fails, restore again but do not use the backup - restore as new. If the iPad functions OK as new, then slowly rebuild the iPad adding your apps, music etc, methodically to see if you can pin down what might be causing the problem.
if all of that fails, it's time to schedule an appointment at an Apple a Store (must be done online) and have them take a look, or of it is lees than two weeks old, just return it for a refund and buy another one.

Web Link Not Working in IE7 with Vista

I have a fairly simple website of my photography (www.esdigitalart.com) that uses Lightroom flash galleries linked to a Dreamweaver CS3 home page. I use the Contact Info and Web Link in the Site Info Panel to create a "return to Home Page" link. This link works fine in my previous computer running Windows XP and my wife's computer, but since I bought a new computer with Vista and IE7, the website "works" fine including the flash galleries, but the "Return to Home Page" doesn't work. When I open a gallery and go immediately to the "Return" text there is a white underline, which disappears when I click on the text and nothing happens. When I browse a few pictures and go to the "Return" text (upper right corner) there is no underline and nothing happens with a click. I'm assuming it has something to do with the Vista - IE7 settings. Maybe some security setting, but it's frustration not to be able to check my website on my own computer. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi Betty,
It seems to be an issue with Flash Security settings.
Please follow the below steps (these steps are for Firefox and IE):
Publish the project in a folder on c drive.
Open the html file from the published output .
Do the right-click on the screen and go to Global Settings.
Go to Advance Tab.
Scroll down and click on Trusted Location settings.
Click on Add> Add Folder and navigate to your published folder and add it. (You can also add complete C drive so that you do not have to do this again for all the projects)
Click on confirm and then close it.
Now re-open the html file and try to view the attachments.
These setting are only done when you are viewing the content locally. If you place the output on any server then you need not to do these settings.
Hope it works..!
Regards,
Mayank

How to create a mp3 playlist compatable with the media server (storage link)

Hi,
I have setup the wrt160nl wireless router with the latest Firmware Version: 1.00.01 B17.
Everything is working great. I can browse the artists, albums, song titles etc from my usb hard disk.
What isn't working is the play lists.
What format does the play list need to be in?
I assume a text file with the tracks listed like: \music\acdc\back in black.mp3
What file extention or name will the playlist need to be in?
My pnp player only sees two playlists:
1) playlistlastplayed
2) playlistmostplayed
If I knew where those play lists were stored on the usb hard drive (or linksys internal ram?) then I might have a clue.....
Thanks for any help on this.

Playlistlastplayed has every track on the hard disk - and I haven't played them all, only like 3
Playlistmostplayed has ONLY 1 track that I haven't played from the linksys upnp server at all
I can play music off the album, artist and song lists fine.
I'd just like to be able to use a play list, and can't seem to find out how to make one.
I realize and understand that the linksys storage link system doesn't create them.
I assume I can make my own text file with track listings and copy the play list to the usb hard drive attached.
I just need to know the format of the text file, and what extention will it need.
I have tried .m3u .m3u8 .wpl
I don't have iTunes but if you told me I have to download that, import my music into that, then create the playlist there, well, I guess I could try that. I rather not load iTunes if possible.
Thanks
