[rottweiller78]

[jbspr]

Per il momento viene solo giu dai server di hong kong ad una velocita' improponibile....

Speriamo domani sia meglio

[avchd]

ciao ragazzi,
sono un possessore di un nas ds211j con l'ultima release ufficiale 4.1 ho visto ieri che e' disponibile la nuova 4.2
pero ho letto che ci sono dei problemi notevoli con gli aggiornamenti dei pacchetti [confused]
come bisogna operare ??
prima si aggiornano i pacchetti nella 4.1 e poi si passa alla 4.2 o viceversa ???
cosa e' meglio ??
un altra cosa importante vi chiedo se secondo voi la 4.2 potrebbe dare problemi in termini di prestazioni e velocita' con il mio vecchio nas .... ???
ciaoo a tutti a presto.
avchd

[burghy86]

non sono problemi con il dsm ma semplicemente tutti stavano scaricando , i server synology si sono sovracaricati e i download non partivano, prova ora.

io ho un 210j e per ora nessun rallentamento

[acorredig]

Installato oggi e devo dire che non sono pienamente soddisfatto... quando inserisco diversi link da scaricare in download station il suo inserimento reale risulta molto molto lento a differenza del suo predecessore.. ed inoltre appare un messaggio finale dicendo che non è riuscito ad inserire i link nella download station.

succede solo a me? qualche idea di come risolvere il problema?

Grazie

Possibile Bug VPN Server-Firewall

Se si abilita il firewall a negare tutto in ingresso, si creano regole per eventuali autorizzazioni di accesso in entrata, quando ci si collega in VPN PPTP la connessione va a buon fine ma il nas non è più ragiungibile all'indirizzo VPN.(10.0.0.0)

Se si disabilita il firewall questo non accade.

Qualcuno ha riscontri in merito?
