Buffalo Linkstation
If you are having trouble updating the firmware on your Buffalo Linkstation or Kuro Box using Windows XP, try turning off your computer’s firewall. The setup program appears to use UDP in both directions, possibly sending and receiving on different ports, and the default settings of the XP firewall interfere with the traffic. I’m sure the setup program warns you somewhere to do this, but if you’re like me, you typically ignore all those warnings. Well, this time they mean it.
