My Book World Edition (white light) ssh problem - firmware 01.02.06

Grojid 02 Feb 2011 08:42

I've upgraded the firmware of the My Book World Edition (white light) to 01.02.06. After the upgrade the ssh connection is not working anymore. In the web interface ssh is enabled but port 22 is closed. When I reset to factory default ssh remains enabled in the web interface.
I've contact WD support and they confirmed that there is a problem and they need to investigate it. Because they can't give me an older firmware version to downgrade, I will not be able to use ssh until a fix.

Has anybody a working ssh connection with firmware 01.02.06?

The only link I can find to download the firmware for a manual downgrade is:
http://websupport.wdc.com/firmware/list.asp?type=WDH1NC&fw=01.00.02

but here I can only download the new firmware.

http://download.wdc.com/nas/wdhxnc-01.02.06_010411.img

Can anybody give me a link to download an older firmware version?

Thanks for you help!

I've contacted WD Support again to get an update on my ssh problem. They confirmed that with the new firmware version SSH can stop working. They say they can't provide an older firmware version to downgrade because of of the Twonky Media Server software on it not being GPL. I just need to backup my data and send the hard drive to WD. They will send a new hard drive with a working ssh firmware version on it. Or I just wait until the release of a new version. They can't say how long this will take 2-3 month?

Everybody can download the new version but when the new firmware causes problems they can't provide an old version. This is really crazy!

Hope this information helps someone.

I had the same problem. Changing the Network LAN on the WebUI to dynamic solved it for me. I can now again SSH into my device. It's ridiculous, of course, that I cannot use a static IP if I want to be able the My Book with firmware 01.02.06.

The previous release (unofficial, but hey what does that mean in the case of WD) can still be found on:

No, you don't have the same problem, because you can get into ssh.

See http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/can-t-su-to-root for your problem.

Hi,

this does not solve my problem because welc0me is not the root password.

Thanks

I have got the same problem. Now i see that is a problem of the firmware. WD is always surprising me with that firmware updates that fix one problem, but screw with another 2 others things. I try kto make a SSH login with user root and password welc0me, bu i ge tthe message "Access Denied". However, Features Packmanager can do it ( you can install the prograns listed on it) , i have installed web access and check on systen logs, it can make an ssh login. I also could make a ssh login with user admin and <admin password> but you have restrictions, it doesnt recognize the comand ipkg for example………………

I don't know if this will be the same problem , but after aprox 20-30 minutes of starting the MB WE (light light) it will stop having acces to ssh, samba, web,… anything. Still the harddrive remains active and accessing data and if I press the shutdown button it will start the shutdown processes correctly, so the system it's working, but the network is not.

All this started when I updated to the new firmware 01.02.03 I don't know what to do exactly, any help on how to find when is stopping and why?
