Problem transferring files from the PC to Buffalo LinkStation NAS

[suppafreak]

So, I tried couple of thing over the weekend and it further baffles my mind.

1. I tried bypassing the Linksys hub and that did not resolve the issue.
2. I could not find anything in Zone Alarm that allows opening the port.
3. I Configured the LinkStation as FTP client and to my astonishment I was able to upload and download files pretty quickly. The download speed was 1.2Mbts and the upload speed was 900Kbts. I was able to upload a 200MB file in 6min and download the same file in 3 min.

Yet trying simple transfer of the same file from hard drive to network drive is taking hours.

Have you tried dis-abling zone alarm completly on that PC to see if it makes a difference?
What about if the PC is plugged DIRECTLY into the NAS?

Dis-abling zone alarm completly did not solved the problem. I was only able to connect the drive to PC via the USB and the transfer were quick 4 min for 280MB file.

The problem was solved by mapping the linkstation using the IP address instead of the DNS.

that wouldn't have solve as zone alarm has this vector thing will keep those settings on even when it's disable.

I think that you will be able to access it the regular way if you uninstall zone alarm.

I learn that using zonealarm and a highly customize network isn't a good idea. sometime to open something up right in ZA, you have to configure 3 or 4 different settings for one chore
