LANDISK: NAS-BASIC48
June 25, 2007
Just got a confirmation from my contacts: RDC has released NAS-BASIC48 to vendor(s) no loader change. The NAS-BASIC48 has been released to fix Microsoft Vista bugs.
indeed in the webinterface there is mention of wget stuff, but there is no function addressed to it yet. Even the release notes of RDC does not mention it
I am waiting for the files now, so that I can release it asap.
I’ve released the NAS-BASIC48.. (not tested yet. Probably later today)
firmware tested, the wget stuff is bogus as the cgi is not included (probably also too big to be included into the memory and maybe this html is also used for the 2891 chipset
New is in the GUIÂ that there is now more info aobut the HDD inserted.
Extra disk info: – FW: wx. “3.AAE” – SN: ex. “5LS3AG02″
Update information for RDC2882 chipset: this chipset will be phased out Q1 2008. Af from today the latest version of the firmware is the latest one(s) available from my website http://www.aroundmyroom.com/landisk
total focus of RDC is now the RDC2891 and from Q2 2008 the RDC2892 chipset

Hey
Any increase on FTP transfer speed yet? Still awfully slow for 100mbit.
Awesome work for posting the firmware.

phil,
do not expect changes in transfer speed. the CPU is 16 bit. it’s running on low mhz .. so you cannot expect it will have 5 to 12MB/s. We reach 3.7MB/s not higher ..
if you want to have higher speeds let’s say: 7 to 8MB/s than you need to have the successor of the 2882 chipset the 2891 ..
I’ve a sample and that one is getting those speeds. But for the 2882: it’s lowcost so cheap so this is the speed you are paying for.
Sorry

Hallo Dennis!
We are using a NAS with Firmware NAS-BASIC48, LOADER 67. Is it possible to get a modified Firmware with a special entry in the smb.conf?
We want to use the NAS as a Fileserver for our application. We are using DBF as Database-Files. Several Clients want to access these files so have to be locked.
The Samba-Config-File must have the following lines:
strict locking = yes
veto oplock files = /*.DBF/*.dbf/*.MDX/*.mdx
oplock break contention limit = 0
oplocks = no
Can you modify the firmware or can you tell us a way, how to modify the firmware
Best Regards

Hmm…
Maybe the next chipset is aiming to be something like a network settopbox or a router or something like this.
Would be possible that this kernel is derived from the new chipset code branch and it got some some hint about what is coming next.
I wonder…
BTW is the kernel gzipped too?
June 27th, 2007 at 3:50 pm
the next chipset is 2891 and has UPnP (only XBOX !)
and has better (up to 4 / 6 MB/s write/read speed)
I’ve the PCB here, the loader, the kernel+web
no compatible with 2882 ..
I even have the SourceCode as parts is GNU/GPL but it cannot be released yet by me.
June 27th, 2007 at 3:51 pm
Nils,
you can only change the HTML interface, check http://www.aroundmyroom.com/landisk
the loader, kernel parts is not to be changed as there is no sourcecode freely available. And what I have seen is that they only release sourcode of dhcp.c and nothing else.
June 27th, 2007 at 5:05 pm
Let me guess, does it have bittorrent support?
July 1st, 2007 at 10:08 am
HAllo Dennis,
M.b.v. jou tips heb ik mijn CHD3LAN kunnen upgraden met de nieuwste firmware en lijkt e.e.a. nu te werken. Alleen moe(s)t ik mijn firewall uitschakelen om dit te doen of om toegang tot de netwerkschijf te krijgen.
Weet jij wellicht waarom ZoneAlarm de toegang tot een netwerkschijf blokkeert? Zelfs als ik het IP-adres opneen in de lijst met toegestane adressen blijft d etoegang geblokkeerd. Is dit op te lossen?
Dank,
Martijn

All the firmware version have problem with file time stamps: I use a mirroring software (Mirrorfolder) and when I syncronize source with target in NAS system the files have no date or a strange date (01/01/1601) so it’s impossible to syncronyze, and the sw recopy everyting
July 15th, 2007 at 6:26 pm
I have just bought a Venus NAS.
1. Can your updates be applied to this (the status page reports “Firmware Version NAS-BASIC45, LOADER 67″ so I think they can?
2.To upgrade do I just download chd3lan48-fix.bin and use the firmware upload page to load this?
3. The only problem I’ve found so far is in writing a 17GB file. I note in another website’s notes that as at V44 the max size was 16GB and no further notes of increase. Can any of the newer versions support larger files?
July 15th, 2007 at 7:09 pm
Peter,
1. Yes if the chipset is 2882 it could, but hey: do it at your own risk
2. Yes, but keep in mind that you first update the loader to 69 before uploading any kernel/web interface
3. FAT32 by default only supports <4GB with some trick you can use >4GB but I do not advise it at all ..
July 15th, 2007 at 7:10 pm
Martijn: i have no idea about zonealarm, it’s a firewall alike tool so it blocks everything and you have to unblock it. No direct issue of the device
July 18th, 2007 at 8:08 pm
Peter, how did you get on? I have the same NAS as you and am looking to upgrade too.
What would be great is some kind of log to monitor access to the FTP server…
July 24th, 2007 at 1:09 am
Hello Dennis,
I have uploaded the firmware you have provided to my RDC R2882-G based Flexy NAS-347 (I think all models are based on the same chipset)
It worked like a charm! Now, I can connect to my LANDISK with my laptop loaded with Vista Home Premium.
However, I need to mention something: The protected (with a password) directories doesn’t work on Vista. Well, I have no problems :) I have nothing to hide :P
Thanks again for your uploads.
Regards,
Onur
July 24th, 2007 at 6:31 pm
Very nice, this last update working very good, no connection errors anymore.
July 26th, 2007 at 3:45 pm
Hi Dennis!
Do you have contacts of the manufacturer of the landisks? Can you please email me the answer?
Best Regards from Berlin

The password protected directories work on vista if you use the LanDisk name as the login.
Example
Workgroup = WORKGROUP
Share name = STORAGE-AAAA
Password = admin
So when vista asks for the username and password type in:-
Username = WORKGROUP\STORAGE-AAAA
Password = admin
August 16th, 2007 at 6:21 pm
The password protected directories work on vista if you use the LanDisk name as the login and change the following registry entry from 3 to 1. (3 is NTLMv2 required and 1 is NTLMv2 if available)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\LMCompatibilityLevel
Note, click on the LSA folder to see the LMCompatibilityLevel and then right click it to modify from 3 to 1
Login example
Workgroup = WORKGROUP
Share name = STORAGE-AAAA
Password = admin
So when vista asks for the username and password type in:-
Username = WORKGROUP\STORAGE-AAAA
Password = admin

Hi all, I have a netstore 3500 from PB (never thought I would buy something of these guys ! :-) ) Can I use the NAS-BASIC48 ?
November 10th, 2007 at 10:14 pm
Dear Dennis!
One question: how can I share the files in the root of the drive to the network? I am using the landisk to record from MPEGs with my DVB-S receiver through the USB port, and the box puts these in the root of the disk. When I access it trhough lan, I am unable to see them. Also not possible to share the root from the web interface.
Any ideas on how to hack this, or make it work somehow? Thanks in advace for your time.
November 10th, 2007 at 11:05 pm
RDC is using PUBLIC ..
and from the public folder you can share the parts
putting files direct in the root is normally not a good option
I’ve not seen any alternatives other than using a batch / cron job replacing / copying files.
November 18th, 2007 at 10:01 am
Is there a chance to run a batch / cron job replacing / copying files on the LanDisk? I’d be satisfied with that too. Even if not cron job, a simple command, to move files from Root to PUBLIC would be more than enough: could a button on the web interface, start such a command?
Because if so, I’d jus log into the web interface, click the button manually, and afterwards have the files in the share. Great idea! Would it be possible?
November 18th, 2007 at 12:58 pm
PS: I have NAS-BASIC48B6, LOADER 70 on it at the moment, with ViperNAS v1.2 Interface. (RDC-R2882 chip inside, actually model named Nub3Ar from AgeStar/Coolink). I took Loader 70 from http://www.station-drivers.com/page/landisk.htm
November 21st, 2007 at 6:05 pm
I’d be interested in that too! Is it possible to move all the file files (*.*) from root to \PUBLIC, with a button from the web interface? How difficult could that be?
I’m good at html and php, any ideas how to trigger this?
November 23rd, 2007 at 7:47 pm
Dennis, could you point us in the right direction?
December 2nd, 2007 at 3:07 pm
Anybody out there?
December 13th, 2007 at 10:20 pm
hi guys,
has someone ever noticed that when browsing the directorys sometimes they seem to be empty while u know they’re not !
After hitting multiple times F5/refresh then ups there they are !
very annoying to backup files, as it will just not copy them !
December 21st, 2007 at 2:24 pm
Timestamp problem
Have upgraded a Sitecom MD-250 to NAS-BASIC48, LOADER 69 in the hope to solve the timestamp problem. Each file copied over the lan get the current date and time instead keeping the original one. Maybe only a setting problem. Is a firmware available which handles the timestamp in the correct fashion?
December 26th, 2007 at 1:22 am
Hi,
I see you have mentioned RDC 2891 firmware. Do you have a copy that works correctly with Vista? Vista seems to disconnect from the nas drive firmware version:
NAS2890-008 LOADER 3.2
Its a right pain for a new Christmas present !!!
Merry Christmas
yours

December 28th, 2007 at 2:24 pm
Hi there.
Just to let you know that I own a Mentor Sharing Drive (made by Bona and RDC R-2882 Based) and I successfully updated to NAS-BASIC48 LOADER 69 with the files found here:
http://www.aroundmyroom.com/landisk/nas-basic48/
It worked ok from the first time and I’m quite happy with it. :)
Btw, I don’t care that the box now says Conceptronic… ;)
Thanks for a nice share and a Happy New 2008. :)

SoftGil:
This version works ok and the gui is also nice, but it still have the timestamp problem. Could not find a version which handles this in the correct way.
December 30th, 2007 at 8:22 pm
Hallo Dennis,
Via Google heb ik deze site gevonden omdat ik opzoek was naar info over de firmware. Ik bezit een Sitecom MD-250 NAS-BASIC47, LOADER 69 en PackardBell NetStore 3500 NAS-BASIC48, LOADER 70. Zoals je ziet lijkt de benaming van de firmware wel erg veel op elkaar en ik was dan ook opzoek of het mogelijk was de PackardBell firmware te gebruiken is op de Sitecom MD-250 die niet meer leverbaar is en er ook lang geen firmware updates meer zijn. Verder wil ik af van de mogelijkheid de schijven te kunnen formateren via de browser, ik moet er niet aan denken dat iemand per ongeluk er op klikt.
Gr. Toon.
December 30th, 2007 at 9:17 pm
Toon, je kan gewoon een eigen GUI maken, als je een van de html sources wijzigt en dan later update ..
December 30th, 2007 at 9:27 pm
Cad,
I have a new kernel for the rdc2891 chipset. check it out
December 30th, 2007 at 11:27 pm
Dennis waar haal ik de source code vandaan?, Packardbell en Sitecom hebben deze niet ter download.Compileren zal denk ik ook nog nodig zijn en dus ook een compiler.
Waar kan ik deze spullen en de benodigde informatie vinden.
Gr. Toon.
December 31st, 2007 at 10:30 am
zie http://www.aroundmyroom.com/landisk
daar staat veel info op .. zo niet deze website
maar echt een sourcecode van de kernel krijg je niet van RDC ..
maar dat heb je voor de html broncode ook niet nodig
December 31st, 2007 at 11:39 am
Dennis bedankt,
Ik heb de folder gevonden en de HTML layout van de PackardBell NetStore 3500 met NAS-BASIC48, LOADER 70 al aangepast.
Is de firmware van de PackardBell ook te gebruiken voor de Sitecom MD-250 deze is voorzien van NAS-BASIC47, LOADER 69?, het lijkt erop dat deze en ook de Conceptronic CHD3LAN allemaal hetzelfde zijn, de configuratieschermen bieden allemaal dezelfde mogelijkheden en zien er op de grafische opmaak na ook hetzelfde uit.
Het liefst heb ik alles op gelijke firmware waardoor de eventuele bugs gelijk zijn en ik daar omheen kan werken.
Gr. Toon.
December 31st, 2007 at 12:39 pm
zolang je maar een rdc2882 chipset hebt is de loader, kernel en webinterface uitwisselbaar tussen de vele verschillende merken die deze chipset gebruiken of hebben gebruikt (chipset is inmiddels EOL)
January 2nd, 2008 at 8:58 pm
DAg Dennis,
ik heb idd ook het probleem van de timestamp.
Iemand anders ook gemerkt dat niet alle files altijd zichtbaar zijn in een directory (tenzij ej meerdere malen refresh doet…)…
heel enerverend als je iets kopieert en dan merkt dat er in feite iets ontbreekt ;(
bedankt

I have a maplin NS347 landisk on my local lan which I am unable to access vi the web interface.
I have upgraded using quick-tools to firmware v48 on win xpsp2. Quicktools says the drive is called STORAGE-BACKUP. I open the web browser to STORAGE-BACKUP or STORAGE or the IP address proved by my router 192.168.X.X and up pops a username/password box. I fill in admin/admin – no luck. Comes back with a pinkish page which says 401 authorizaton required.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
I loaded your http://www.aroundmyroom.com/landisk/rdc2891/kernel-s2891-010b1.rar into my “Mediasonic” RDC2891 NAS which was previously running: NAS2890-008 LOADER 3.2
Now, it appears to be bricked. The upgrade claimed to be successful through the GUI but the device never came back up.
For some strange reason, I can ping 169.254.0.1 but there is no Web interface there. I used the “Quick Update” utility to try a variety of firmware files to recover but they all fail except the one that corrupted the file in the first place.
Now, when I try to load kernel-s2891-010b1.bin again through Quick Update, the process completes successfully but then the PING replies go from 1ms to about 3 full seconds. When the device is rebooted, the ping is restored to normal and I’m back to square one.
The USB portion appears unaffected. Using tftp to the device fails with a timeout.
Is there anyway to restore the thing to its original state? This all started when I wanted Mac OSX 10.5 compatibility.
Thanks.
January 12th, 2008 at 6:07 am
Thanks!
I used your firmware to update my Eagle | Consus W-Series External Storage System ET-CSWNASU2-BK to NAS-BASIC48 and it resolved my Vista access issues.
Many thanks!
-Jay
January 12th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Does anyone have the original firmware that ships with the 2891? No one carries this anywhere!
If you view the .BIN file and it begins with “RDC Semiconductor” then it is a 2882 module and it won’t work for a 2891.
I’m pulling my hair out trying to fix this thing, any help is appreciated!
January 16th, 2008 at 9:58 am
Does anyone know where I can get the firmware upate to the Mediasonic HD9-SU2LAH? See the link below for more info:
http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=016816&cid=516.690
I’m not overly impressed with its performance and I wonder if there might be an update that may solve some interoperability issues with my network media player (a Netgear Eva8000).
Thanks for any replies!
January 16th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
how can I compile the latest Version (NAS-BASIC48b6 Loader 0.70) with the nice “Viper-NAS” Webinterface?
January 24th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
It sounds like there is some indication that the firmware is based on Linux. can you confirm this? If so, then where the hell is the required source code? Or are they yet another GPL violator?
January 24th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
nope, it’s not linux .. although they seem to use a GPL dhcp something .. for the 2882 (EOL chipset) .. for the 2891 I have sources online
February 3rd, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Hi guys, I recently aquired a HD9-SU2LAH (NAS2890-008 LOADER 3.2), can ne1 please tell me if an updated firmware is available for this model. Also I noticed on my network that the nas drive seems to give all read/write abilities, Is there a way I can make all the files read only except when I FTP in with a password?
February 9th, 2008 at 3:36 am
I have the same issue as JaSonic, appreciate if anyone can help..
Thanks..
February 11th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
Its nice to see a few people like my interface. =D
Thos of you who havnt seenit, you can see screen shots and grab the latest version (v1.3) from here: http://viperfang.net/vipernas
Dennis, please could you add a link to my site from the vipernas folder? I have a link to you, hopefully people will find everything they need between us!
I’ve been very happy with this enclosure, Im running NAS-BASIC48B6, LOADER 70, Vipernas v1.3. Mine is actually from sumvision, but never had any problems.
Any feedback from users of ViperNAS is welcome. You can contact me via my website (http://viperfang.net). I am happy to correct any mistakes or apply any updates that may be needed.
February 11th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
Sorry, there is a correction on the above post… you can find the latest version of ViperNAS here:

I want to use the NAS as a movie server. I’ve tried it and have streamed 3 quality divx movies at one time. The problem I have with it is there is no way to write protect the drive after putting the movies on it. Wonder if that feature will ever be available in a future release?
I use an MG-35 as the player.
February 23rd, 2008 at 1:50 am
Hi, I’m wondering …
I have a Prestigo Net Drive 500Gb (PNAS3ND500) which I think is RDC 2882 Chip. I have problem with vista connecting SMB/CIFS over ethernet, I tried registry tweak for LM NTLM session authentication but no differance in operation, I can see folders and that’s about it, cant do anything from vista …
Their site is not good for browsing and they no longer list this model or I cant get to it, anyhow they list the PNAS3GB0750 model which looks exactly the same with the following firmware.
The firmware they have on there site is :-
Firmware (version 45-69) 24/11/2006 Win98/2K/XP English
I looked with HxD and it mentions RDC 2882 v0.6.9 … I have not tried this because I do not think this version is vista compatible either :/ …
I’m wondering can I update my net drive with firmware or NAS-BASIC48?
I am not sure because I don’t know whats involved how to update everything?
Thanks

@Rikski
How dare you use my work without asking permission, even worse, you removed the fact that it was my work from the completed artical!
RIKSKI-NAS v1.0? Not likely! what version is it anyway? Looks like ViperNAS v1.3!
If you had read my site you would have realised that I am more than willing to alter it for anybody.
In fact, I am more than willing to add your ideas to my UI, and give you FULL CREDIT for the fact that they are your ideas… I cant see any trace of it being my work in that interface.
Just FYI, I am a UK user, I just dont use the data on the NAS drive. I am happy to change it. As for allowing hidden shares? Great! Throw me the code and I’ll add it… and GIVE YOU CREDIT!
Get the idea?
Ben
Get the ORIGINAL ViperNas v1.3 (soon to be 1.4) here: http://projects.viperfang.net/vipernas

Hi guys!
Just a quick yell to tell you that ViperNAS v1.4 is out. get it here:
http://projects.viperfang.net/vipernas
Ben
February 24th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
@Ben,
Ok, Ben – Firstly calm down…. Yes the GUI is basically your code – (I never Denied it – infact I even – quoted a thanks in the ReadMe – which you seem to be ignoring).
So everyone (if you haven’t read it in the ReadMe) please note:- this is Ben’s interface (yet, slightly modified).
I hope that makes you feel slightly better, I am not one for ripping off peoples work (which is why I paid respect in the ReadMe).
Now, Why would I want to share the details on how to do a Hidden share – when you are not prepared to share your work? (- just look at my modified code to yours – help yourself!)
- Now, on another angle Ben – Did it occur to you that it is quite a compliment to have your work modified (and yet be thanked for it) and included inside the Firmware?
I am sorry that you are offended, Perhaps in future I will not bother to contribute – besides your interface is the best I have seen!
Regards
Rikski
February 24th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
@Ben,
Already looks like you’ve released V1.4 of ViperNAS.
Now let me guess, did you “Steal” that code from me now? (What’s this eye for an eye?).
Fortunately, I am pleased that you have used it in your Interface – but let me guess – no Credit? – Well fortunately I can handle it.
So, looks like you have lowered yourself down to my level? – eh?
Pitty, You don’t credit people in your work though? – not that it matters.
Apologies to other readers, for this childish tic for tak.
Now, best regards.
Rikski
February 24th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
First of all @ Rikski
You are welcome to check the code, you know how, I have use by own code. But I’m not here for this type of eye for an eye thing. The thing that annoyed me was you put your name accross the version (The bit that states what version of vipernas it is / is based off). Thats the easiest way for users to see what features have been updated etc.
Looks like we have offended each other here. Im guessing we have used the same code for the hidden share ( I can only see one way of adding it!)
So hows this, you send me an email, or post here, with your tag (assuming is RikSki) and a website maybe or something where poeple can contact you. I am Happy to pass that credit to you.
@Everybody
Sorry about this tit for tat behiour that seems to be developing.
I’ve had a report of an error in disk space calculation. I have tweaked the code, but I would like to know if anyone else is having the same issue.
Anyone can contact me here:

Hi Dennis,
I’ve been reading through all comments on your website and have noticed you mentioned there’s a way to get around the 4GB limit on a NAS FAT32 system using a “trick”. Can you please elaborate on this? I’d like to know because I have my NAS mounted to my dreambox (Linux based sattelite receiver) and would like to stream DVD isos to my dreambox. Do I need a specific firmware version to do this?
I’m Dutch as well but since there’s so many international readers here I dediced to post in English.
March 19th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Dennis yo tengo un HDLAN Connection N&C con chip 2882.
Con el firmware original me daba muchos problemas, pero le instale un firmware que aparecio en el FTP de Conceptronic V47 Loader70 y con este firmware me funcionaba perfectamente.
Curiosamente a los pocos dias Conceptronic borro dicho firmware de su FTP.
Ayer le instale el nuevo V48 Loader69 y desde entonces me va muy mal el HDLAN, he probado a instalarle otros firmware de otros fabricantes o mas antiguos y sigue funcionando igual de mal.
El problema es solo cuando paso archivos del HDLAN al ordenador (al contrario va mas o menos bien, aunque no tanto como antes).
Antes tenia una tasa mantenida de unos 3,5MB/s y desde que instale el nuevo firmware la transferencia me va a saltos, algunas veces a 1mega, otras a 3, otras se queda parado, haciendose lentisima la transferencia del archivo.
¿Teneis constancia de este problema en otras unidades?
¿Alguna forma de solucionarlo?
Un saludo.
March 19th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
The trick is to use ’samba’ share cause than the device will ‘cut’ the file in 2 pieces
and when using samba again the device will ‘merge’ the files again
by FTP it’s not supported. I’ve no idea if it would work on a dreambox

Translation of mjnavapo’s comment:
Dennis, I have a HDLAN Connection N & C with 2882 chip.
I had many problems with the original firmware, so I installed a firmware that I found on the Conceptronic FTP: V47 Loader70 and with this firmware the NAS functioned perfectly.
Strangely enough a few days ago Conceptronic removed the firmware from their http://FTP.
Yesterday I installed the new V48 Loader69 and since then the NAS has been acting up badly. I tried installing older versions and other firmware from other manufacturers but the NAS still operates badly.
The problem arises when transfering files from the NAS to the computer (The other way around functions more or less the way it should, although not as good as before). Before the NAS maintained a transfer rate of 3.5 MB/s but since I installed the new firmware the transfer rate jumps up and down: sometimes 1 MB/s, 3 MB/s, sometimes it stops completely, making file transfer very slow. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution to fix it?
Regards.

Well, that’s exactly what I’ve done. I’ve done a cifs mount on my dreambox 500+.
So technically it should work? What exactly do you mean by using “samba share”? You mean creating a folder and putting it in the sharing list?
I’ve created a password protected folder using the SMB server option of the NAS (2882 chip, NAS-BASIC39, LOADER 067). Took me a while to figure out what username the NAS would require for a mount to my dreambox. Apparently on my NAS it’s “Gast” (Did hooking up the NAS to a Dutch XP based PC set “Gast” as a standard username in the NAS?!).
I then set up a cifs mount on my dreambox linked to the folder I created in the SMB server option of the NAS. I’m able to read from the drive, play mp3s etc. and am able to record video from the dreambox.
I haven’t tried transfering a file larger than 4GB to the NAS yet because I was afraid it would crash the drive. Are you saying the NAS will automatically split the >4GB file in two when I transfer a file from my PC to the NAS through LAN?
Are there any additional options for the SMB server that I might need in the newer version of the firmware?
How exactly does the NAS get it’s username for a SMB share and is it possible to change this username?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Dennis I have a HDLAN N & C Connection with 2882 chip.
With the original firmware gave me a lot of problems, but you install a firmware that appeared in the FTP Conceptronic V47 Loader70 with this firmware and I worked perfectly.
Interestingly a few days Conceptronic delete this firmware your FTP.
Yesterday you install the new V48 Loader69 of Conceptronic and since then I have in the HDLAN very bad, I tried to install other firmware other manufacturers or older and continues to operate as evil.
The problem is only when copying files to the computer HDLAN (read files in the HDLAN).
Prior had maintained a rate of about 3.5 MB / s and since installing the new firmware transfer is not stable (1MB, 0 KB, 600KB, 3MB, 0 KB, 2MB, etc.), taking microjoints and transfer becoming very slow.
Do you have evidence of this problem in other units?
Is there any way to solve it?
Thank you.
PS: I do not know if the translation is entendera well, as I do not speak English and I used the translator of google. I hope it is enough to be understood.
March 20th, 2008 at 7:00 am
the firmware available is already long time out, no new updates, I’ve not seen issues before. There are lots of sources outthere ..
check http://www.aroundmyroom.com/landisk/

I bought a Venus NAS running NAS-BASIC45, LOADER 67 in Thailand and use it from XP SP2 and Mac (Leopard) through the LAN. Basically it works fine but once in a while (every 2 days or so) it hangs. Not sure whether this is a known issue? I get the impression that the case gets pretty hot. Room temperature is some 35 degrees celsius during the day and around 28 a night and the disk is always on. Not sure whether a firmware upgrade is available and whether it would make any difference?
March 20th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
@Nick
Your LAN shouldn’t get too hot when you’ve set the “Disk Sleep Timeout”. unless somehow your drive is being read from every 10 minutes or so, all day.
@Dennis
Any idea about the username thing I asked about in my previous comment(the one before the translation I made of mjnavapo’s comment)
@mjnavapo
I’ve translated your comment for you. But untill now nobody has encountered the same problem you have with your NAS.

Sorry Chris, I do not have any clue about the share user / name
i’ve no box avail right now. Sorry
March 20th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
I tried the >4GB file transfer and it failed. Read some of the firmware release notes and figured out I really DID need an upgrade as file spanning is only supported from NAS-BASIC44 and up. I upgraded to the latest (fixed) firmware NAS-BASIC48, LOADER 69 and this works perfectly! Thnx Dennis (and conceptronic) :).
March 21st, 2008 at 1:03 am
I have set the disk sleep timeout to 5 minutes (was 0 before) and removed the case to prevent the printed circuit from getting too hot. I will test for a couple of days to see whether this improves the situation.
Has anyone experienced similar problems (NAS hangs, doesn\’t respond to ping)? I have some 10 users accessing the NAS.
March 21st, 2008 at 9:27 pm
@nick
Good idea, although I’m a big fan of “airflow” to cool stuff down. I’m thinking of modding the case with a big 12cm Papst fan(rigged with an air-filter). My NAS doesn’t get warm at all but I dislike that little screamer of a fan that’s in there now.
I found out my RDC chip is a 2881 instead of a 2882. Compatibility of the firmware relies on the board the chip is soldered to. In other words: it depends on the other components (IDE controller etc.). My 2881 works perfectly with the new software.

Hi guys, hope you don’t mind if I bring my question back into the light…..
I recently aquired a HD9-SU2LAH (NAS2890-008 LOADER 3.2), can ne1 please tell me if an updated firmware is available for this model. Also I noticed on my network that the nas drive seems to give all read/write abilities, Is there a way I can make all the files read only except when I FTP in with a password?
Also just tried to load the ViperNAS v1.5c into my drive using the maintenance page, and basically it told me to get stuffed lol.
I tried emailing mediasonic on their website a number of times using the contact us at http://www.mediasonicinc.com/store/ but they were as much use as a chocolate teapot with their no response.
March 24th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
I recently aquired a HD9-SU2LAH (NAS2890-008 LOADER 3.2), is there any way to get Twonky Vision working on this box, I bought it as it was XBox friendly but only for music and photos, and I need video as well. Any ideas?
Thanks
March 26th, 2008 at 8:17 am
Can someone confirm what firmware will work with the HD9-SU2LAH units? I downloaded landrive-FirmwareBasicNAS-48-b1-F.bin, but I’m not sure if this is the right firmware. What I see in the interface is NAS2890-008 LOADER 3.2. Help me Wanda!
March 28th, 2008 at 1:22 am
Hi,
i have this firmware running,upload works fine but when i download from it in the ftp way after a few percents the lan disk doesn´t response.
Thanks in advance
March 28th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
I have a LAnDISK brought from maplins a couple of years back. Firmware is 47/67. When i try to ugrade to 48/69 it fails with a general error.
Anyone know how I can get this box upgraded..?
ive used MT & another couple of upgrade tools plus tried upgrading the box from within its own maintance section but it always fails.
March 28th, 2008 at 11:55 pm
I almost forgot to report back on my now success story!
Everything is working as it should on my dreambox 500+.
I have mounted the NAS (cifs) and installed both the DreamDVD plugin and the PlayDVD plugin (to select and feed the .ISOs to DreamDVD) and it works like a charm!
By upgrading the firmware of my NAS (to NAS-BASIC48, LOADER 69) it’s now possible to store files larger than 4GB (DVD ISO files) and stream those to the dreambox.
To get the cifs mount working on the dreambox you do have to send the following command through telnet once (or create a script to do this everytime you reboot the dreambox): echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled
Recording and playback on the NAS also works great!
Chris
@Sean: Your firmware has a completely different name than the firmware for the 2882 (2881) chip on the newer boards. This newer firmware most likely will not work on your device.
Your firmware:
NAS2890-008 LOADER 3.2
My Firmware:
NAS-BASIC48, LOADER 69
You must have one of the older boards with a 2881 or maybe even a completely different chip.
@Mark: check this file: http://www.aroundmyroom.com/images/2006/11/landrive.pdf
Read it thoroughly. It tells you how to distinguish the components on the board to see if your NAS is compatible with the newer firmware. My NAS is 100% identical to the one in the pictures in that .pdf file.
March 29th, 2008 at 6:04 am
@chris: Thanks for your advice! My NAS still hangs every two days. Removing the case to allow for better ventilation and setting the sleep time to 5 doesn’t seem to help. Please note that my case has no fan at all. I get the impression that you have a more sophisticated version compared to mine.
I would like to try to upgrade to the latest firmware if possible. Detailled instructions on how to do this are greatly appreciated. I don’t think that I need any special features and also don’t care how the user interface looks like.
Here the facts again about the device to be upgraded:
Venus NAS-BASIC45, LOADER 67
Chip: RDC 2882-G
Board: FT3511-LAN VER:C1
Thank you so much!

Hi There, Can anyone let me know if i can run twonky on this nas? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated…….This works great with my XBOX1’s and XBMC but at the moment I’m stuck for accessing my files without a PC running. Thanks in advance……

twonky you can forget, that’s a no go area ..
RDC uses propriety software
May 5th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
Hi there, can anyone help me to update my NAS_BASIC48 loader 69? I connect my NAS to a local net and I use a DHCP from my Dlink lan switch. Sometimes during a data transfert explorer going to crash and is it impossible to resume the datatransfert again. I need to reboot the lan card or switch off the NAS. I know if tihs is a lowcost product but in this case is impossible to use correctly. ciao
May 5th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
Hi,
I’m running NAS-BASIC48, LOADER 69. I consumes approx 12 W. Can I spin down the HDD if it’s not used?

Hi, can anyone tell me how do i reset this LANKDISK Pro NAS-BASIC48, LOADER 69 device without accessing webcontrol utility? I had forgotten the userid and the password for it.
June 11th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
@Nicholas: depending on manufacturer there should be a Reset pin-hole on the back of your unit to reset to factory defaults.
July 5th, 2008 at 3:26 am
Hi, I’ve got a Landisk, NAS-BASIC48B6, LOADER 69 connected to a PC via cat5. Is there anyway to install Subversion on the Landisk so that it will serve from there without running the PC?
July 5th, 2008 at 8:39 am
there is no way to install features / tools on the device like subversion
July 6th, 2008 at 1:30 am
Hi Dennis,
Thanks for the quick response. I guess I’ll have to come up with another solution – perhaps a low power, second-hand laptop running Ubuntu or similar.
July 15th, 2008 at 11:59 am
Hi,
until now the landrive worked fine with several windows and linux clients. I recently bought an HP officejet 9130 with a network card – a so called digital sender, which makes *.pdfs. Scanning into a share on a windows notebook works fine, scanning to my landrive does not work. I allways get a network error. I tried for example:
“\\192.168.1.2\data” as target. “data” is the name of a directory with password on the landrive. As username I used “WORKGROUP\STORAGE-XXXX” as seen on the status page of the landrive. SMB password is “data”. As officejet’s login method I choosed “LM & NTLM” instead of “NTLM” or “NTLMv2″.
A “net use g: \\192.168.1.2\data data” from my windows notebook works fine.
“\\192.168.1.1\data” is a share on a windows notebook. In this case everything works, using the notebooks username and password – the officejet 9130 is logged in.
At a glance: Notebook -> Landrive: ok; Officejet -> Notebook: ok; Officejet -> Landrive: fails. Where is the difference?
Thanks in advance

@Ross: How about using an old XBOX with ubuntu on it?
There’s an awesome how-to here: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/content/view/24213/77/
But back on topic, has anyone tried the new NASBASIC49b1 yet? Anyone know what improvements it brings? I’m still happy with my NASBASIC 48 setup on my dreambox though ;).
August 30th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
I’ve have a Landisk N&C Connection and I’ve installed NAS-BASIC49B2, LOADER 70,VANTEC,2008-1-17. This version it’s fine. The device name names STORAGE-0BB0 and a My english is bad sorry. I don`t know why utilities lan disk versions 1.1 to 1.7 doesn’t go.
I’m looking for new firmware that can use P2P. ¿It’s posible? Thanks.
September 9th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
Short question – is there a tool available to check upon the chipset without opening the device (so that warranty is not void).
Reason being: I have the NAS-drive documented with manual http://www.lindy.de/lindyshop/manuals/32457.pdf.
However, I cannot tell which chipset it uses. (Would like to load latest firmware as it seems the current one has a bug and is incabable on disabling the built in DHCP-server…)
Any idea, anyone? Every hint appreciated.
Many thanks in advance !
September 10th, 2008 at 6:45 am
@Wilfried, the manual is made or based on RDC2881 or RDC2882 ..
but that will not tell anything about your chipset, afaik maybe only by using the tool to see bootloader and inserted firmware you can tell little more ..
September 10th, 2008 at 10:37 am
>>> nly by using the tool to see bootloader and inserted firmware you can tell little more
Dennis – thank you so much for the information you provided. Now (as I’m totally new around here and didn’t find it though I tried) can perhaps anyone point me to where I can download the tool Dennis mentioned?
For the experts around here it’s probably a stupid question as you know it without further reference – but for me it would really help.
(Dennis, if by ‘using the tool’ you meant to refer to the admin browser interface of the network drive itself: it lists ‘NAS-BASIC45, LOADER 68′ as the current firmware. But would that safely tell me if I can use the latest firmware at http://www.aroundmyroom.com/landisk/nas-basic48? – I thought perhaps there is a tool somewhere that I could get hold of which extracts a bit more info out of the box about the chipset used in there?)
Many thanks in advance!
September 19th, 2008 at 7:14 am
Question-Is there a newer firmware version that I can use for my 3.5 NAS Enclosure? Firmware is NAS2890-008 LOADER 3.2. That is what it probably needs coz if I use LAN as my connection and access the storage, the files are not there as if they’re invisible but if I use the USB my PC detects the hard drive inside the NAS enclosure and the folders are accessible. Please help. Thanks
September 19th, 2008 at 8:24 am
no idea… i have no experience with a 2890 RDC chipset
October 30th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
Hi all,
I have the Conceptronic CHD3LAN (400Gb) landisk.
Usings Basic48-Loader67
I have two questions/remarks;
- Using filsynchronisation software (or in fact copying files), does not work properly. It is probably caused by a not updating directory (list). A refresh (F5) is needed to update the directory. As sync software does not do that, it can not work as it should.
- Sometimes, especially when copying a lot of small files, the file copy stops and I have to reset/switch off/on the landisk. Also file transfer is very slow.
I noticed the speed and synchronisation is much better when using the FTP functionality.
Has anyone noticed these issues too and do you have a solution.
Regards, Ron

Chris,
I noticed you are using this with a DM500, can I ask you have you managed to move your VAR (using PLI image) to the NAS and get it to work?
I have mounted it and let the DM do the move all goes ok but DM then will not try and access it afterwards (although it shows the free space on the drive as VAR)
February 27th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Dennis,
It is great to find your site and your development.
I have a Sitecom MD-250 and firmware is NAS-BASIC45a, LOADER 69. The current transfer rate over LAN is 3.5Mb.
which chipset is inside?
I wonder if I could telnet or ssh into the server and move the file from one directory to another directory locally. because that would save a lot of time.
I have tried ftp but \”mv\” is not a intern command of ftp. rename is there but could not use to move file.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Dennis,
I’m using B48/L49 (the fixed version) on my CHD3LAN. I asked Conceptronic whether I can this NAS, using the SMB-server, to connect to a CFULLHDMA or another media centre (linke popcorn hour A100) using the SMB-client. Conceptronic says it CHD3LAN won’t work with CFULLHDMA. Can you confirm that? I read a messag from Kenny (last year) stating he usese his NAS with an MG-35 as the player.
Rien
March 10th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
it could be working due to the change of smbmount to cifs
but I cannot guarantee it.
March 17th, 2009 at 8:16 am
Hi, i try to hack my iomega nas (network home) with your hack. the nas use rdc 2891 chipset.
can i install ssh, rsync and subversion on my nas modified? can you give me some information/links?
Thanks a lot
March 21st, 2009 at 11:00 pm
Hi Dennis,
B49-beta (NexStar)/L49 on my CHD3LAN work fine in combination with popcorn hour A100 using the SMB-client. I upgraded the firmware because at first glance I thought it didn’t work with B48/L49 but misunderstood popcorn’s menu’s. I haven’t flashed back, cause it works fine. For DVD the NAS is to slow, but pictures and sound work fine. A .wmv with 800kbs also worked fine.

Hi,
I use NAS ‘ULS-3585′.
Recently I’ve upgraded my laptop to Windows 7.
since that I can’t access this storage.
I can see it in the network, but when trying to enter I get the following message:
“… not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. … Network error (1208)”
Do you have any idea what might be the problem?

Network error (1208)
I am using BASIC48, LOADER69
I can access it from by dual boot Vista but when booting into Windows 7 I get the above error.
Can anyone shed some light on how I can access the NAS?
Thanks
