Anyone tried this solution on 01.00.28 with MioNet 2.4.0.62?

Thanks for any info.

1. Watch Videos that are stored on your WD on your TV Via the Wii
2. Listen to your music files
3. If you use a emulator on the wii that supports a smb network connection, then you can load your games and save directly to your drive and not have to take up space on the wii.

I mean wow, not bad for a lil wii and a nas, heck the colors even match !!!

What all are you doing with your NAS?

The box I already have is running 'raid-1' mode, and I got the idea that it might be possible to swap one of the good raid volumes into the bricked box, boot it, and resynchronize the bad drive. This is what I did, and it worked perfectly. The only drawback is that it takes about five hours to resync a 500GB volume, but that's better than trashing the entire box. Right?

After the resync completed, I deleted the old, duplicate files from the new box, and started adding new. The best thing about this is I don't need to rework the new box with all the modifications from the first. I just changed the IP address, and everything is identical to the first box.

So, this might work for you too, or as a safety precaution, resync a spare drive as a backup. In the event that your box gets bricked for software reasons, slide the spare, backup drive in, boot, resync the bad drives, and you're ready for another round of experimentation. You'll need a compatible drive or a second, identical box, and the boxes must run in 'raid-1' mode.

Let me know if anyone else has any success with this.

but this comes back with 404 - File Not Found

 The file either does not exist or this member has violated the Terms of Service and his account has been terminated. 

http://<mybookip>/auth/firmware_upgrade.pl?fwserver=users6.nofeehost.com/MybookAlternative/MBWE-SSH-ENABLE
does bring up the New firmware available page in the Shared Storage Manger so it would appear some file exists at users6.nofeehost.com/MybookAlternative/MBWE-SSH-ENABLE - I just can not see it.

Is the link
http://users6.nofeehost.com/MybookAlternative/MBWE-SSH-ENABLE/MBWE-SSH-ENABLE.sh not correct? Is it some other file name.

Firmware Information
Description NAS Firmware

What is difference between firmware 01.00.xx and 02.00.xx ?
Can I upload 02.00.xx to my NAS?

I know the passwords and users are correct. I even tried creating a new user in the wb interface and tried logging using that and it still won't go.

Everything seems to work other than SSH. I am able to get into the drive and access files and such. I just want to make some changes in the admin side but without root login, there is no go.

Any suggestions?

Steps where I hit snags:

Create an AWS Volume

ssh complained about the lax permissions on my identity file, so I had to:

 $ chmod 600 id_rsa-gsg-keypair 

The ami-1a5db973 AMI works for me in the US, but I had to add SSH to my default security group before I could connect to it. In the Management Console, click Security Groups on the left, select default, and add the SSH connection method as a custom rule.

The volume needed to be formatted. I'd recommend just following the help for Volumes to accomplish this.

Create a script…

I replaced /home/gordon in one instance of a path to the id_rsa-gsg-keypair file. The others used a ~, which didn't work in the script, maybe because of my shell configuration. I just made them all /home/<me>/.ec2/id_rsa-gsg-keypair.

It takes about a seven tries to get console output. I thought maybe it wasn't working, but I was just impatient.

I'm not sure if the aws detach-volume command is working. I get output like:

 +-----------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Code | Message | +-----------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | InvalidParameterValue | Value (i-7dec8015) for parameter volume is invalid. Expected: 'vol-...'. | +-----------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 

Does it matter?

That's all. It helped to be familiar with Linux and shell scripting to fix the snags. I've never used rsync before though, or AWS, and I wouldn't have gotten through it without the guide!

Can someone help plz? bzhou?

Thank you.

Anyone had installed it and is a current user of this software gives some inputs.

Or even those who tried but think other wise.

Let's hear about it.

So How do I get this going, or does mybook is enhance enough that virus does not exist at all?

Any recommendations or solutions?

Does any of your Mybooks Transfer Lan Lights blinks? You know the one where you plug in your ethernet port, there should be a green light and orange light blinks when you plug it in and when there is traffic. It would be something like your computer Lan port getting plug.

For some reason, mine doesn't blink, I am wondering if this normal?

I have no problem with accessing mybook though, everything seems fine, but just that the light does not turn on.

Thanks for any replys in advance.

Well, this is intended for those who are honest and really messed up their password like myself. I decided to give my defacto password a change to a super long alorgith pass from GRC. You can obtain you very own personal password from them through here https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm.

So I logged into root as usual and change my password and did a copy and paste off the website.

I did it real fast but made a huge mistake to actually make a file to store the password first. This way you can make sure you are copying the right password. Save the file and now open the file and copy the password and now change the password.

Exit SSH and relog in to root with new password.

Well, I thought I got that the first time (of course without store the password first).
So I input the password and got the "access is denied"

I tried everything I can and can't seem to get in. Wasted 3 hours of research and finally found a way to get in.

To get back into root after a failed password:
1. Make sure you have a user made in WB interface. Meaning at http://<mybook ip>. This should bring up the wb webinterace. Make sure you know the password for admin on this. If not, I guess you can reset it by using a paperclip in the back of the mybook and log in with default admin / 123456. I don't know if this will wipe out all the user info, haven't confirm. If so, just create a new one. Make sure this user have admin status.

2. log in SSH (in my case, I use putty)

3. Use the user and password that is created in the WB interface.

4. You should be able to log in that looks something like this
[<myuser>@<mybook> / ]

5. now type:
su -

6. You should be in root now and looks something like this.
[root@<mybook> ~ ] <--— Looks fimilar eh?

7. now type:
passwd
change to new password, make sure you have this password update to your file or use the GRC password.

Bottom line:
If it is true to what I type above, then you stolen mybook is doomed for any hackers or thiefs. You can get into ssh with root no matter what.

Bright side is, you don't have to really worry about forgetting your password (honest mistake). There is always a life line to get you back into your mybook property to do more hacking. =P

So with this knowledge, I don't know if it's a good thing or bad. But I guess it depends who is using the info perhaps.
