Dear friends, I run into a strange issue... I've used for ages Merlin's firmware 376.45 without any problem. I use an usb hdd NTFS attached to the router, shared with samba and everything was ok up to yesterday.
Yesterday I had to detach it to connect a different hdd for a temporary work. After, I reverted to the old configuration, but the tree folder on the configuration page of the router (samba share) was missing and I cannot add or remove any folder. Buttons to add folder are grayed out. Disk is mounted and connected properly, no errors on main page. I tried a lot of things: changed disk with a usb key, formatted it to ext3, connected to different port, power supplied it externally... no way.
I tried also to upgrade the firmware to the last one (378.53), complete reset and complete format of usb disk in NTFS, but the problem is still there: disk correctly mounted but no directory tree in configuration page and grayed out buttons. It is the same even if I connect a different disk or usb key with different cables, I'm running out of ideas, any help? thank you

UPDATE: after more testing, I found out that the problem is the browser! using Firefox or Chrome or IE on my Win 7 system I have this problem, if I use Firefox (same version) on my old Win XP netbook the configuration page works perfectly. I guess it's something related to addon components (ActiveX, or Java or Flash player or something like that...) ideas?
