I'm using a Buffalo LinkStation LS-CHL Series with a 1TB HDD configuration (Firmware 1.61) since a few years. Just recently the LinkStation "name" in the setup menu has changed to "LS-CHLF95" but not by my action ?! I always used the name "LS-Live" as my Mac TimeMachine is also configured to identify this backup device for my daily backups. Since the name has been changed, TimeMachine can of course cannot find this device any more. I still can manually access the LinkStation from my "Finder" application but need to change the name back to the original configured "LS-Live".
Now the problem is that I can go into the setup menu, click on "System" => "Settings" => "Modify Settings" => update the field 'LinkStation Name' to "LS-Live" ... click on the save button (no error message) ... but when I refresh or even re-start the LinkStation, the name "LS-CHLF95" is back again ?!?!? How can this be ? And more important, how to change the LinkStation name permanently ???
Please advise steps to resolve the problem.
