The unit is either LAN or USB. Not both.
-1- However, I first had problems while creating filenames or directory
names from the LAN access:
They were appearing in capital letters until I updated the tree with F5,
then the letters were those I used when I wrote the names.
Sometimes, when I forgot to update the tree, the names kept the CAPs.
-2- Recently, I copied around 70 GB of files from my different HDs in order
to have a complete second copy of my files, accessible through the network.
I began through the LAN interface, quite slow, so I decided tu connect the
disk through its USB interface used for maintenance. Pretty faster. Some
problems occurred during the copy, but none I had to solve by renaming
files.
Today, reviewing the directories, I found that some directories are
impossible to be opened through the USB connection.
a) Some characters are not recognized. However, they are perfectly readable
when I use the LAN cable again.
b) Some other files and/or directories, appearing correctly under the LAN
Session, are modified as DOS 8.3 filemanes under the USB access and copied
accordingly wrong to a target disk.
c) Copying files whick appear in low case letters on the LAN disk, sometimes
results in caps letters on the target HD.
The chipsets are: PL2506 for the USB interface and IP101A (??) for the
10-100 Ethernet Transceiver.
The network processor is an R2882, associated to a 4 MB flash PROM and a 512
K DRAM dual bank.
Please, may some networking guru answer to my different questions and tell
me if this is a bug in the firmware or a conversion problem between this
unit and my computer running under Win98SE ?
Thanks in advance
