... found. I don't know if there are any errors or not! Pretty useless, eh? Now it is time to consult the experts. Buffalo Technology provide telephone and email support. I decided to use email as I'm a cheapskate :-) I explained my predicament and asked for their advice. They asked some further questions, one of which was, "What is the firmware level?" I found that out via the Administrator (Rel 1.44) and they told me that this was a lot out-of-date and as a first step I should upgrade to the latest (1.47)...more
