    Port 445 (Shields Up)

    Appreciate the responses Merlin. Thank you.

    Port 445 (Shields Up)

    So if I flash the current stock firmware and probe the port it shows 'closed' but not stealth. If I re-apply the latest Merlin build it shows 'open' again.

    Port 445 (Shields Up)

    Yea, I guess I need to do the obvious and just swap this one out. I do still have my old router (Netgear WDR7000v3) but I installed dd-wrt on it and put it in another part of the house and connected as a repeater bridge. I did already turn that router off to make sure my issues wasn't that device.

    Port 445 (Shields Up)

    I don't see how it can be any of my computers in the house. I have powered them all down and pulled out a freshly loaded Windows 8.1 laptop and did a scan and I still get that same port as showing open. Again this was not the case until I swapped my old router out for the new asus.

    Port 445 (Shields Up)

    Let me do some more digging and I will report back, the reason why I question this being something on my systems is because I passed the ShieldsUP! test right before I swapped out the new asus router. As soon as I re-tested it failed on port 445. This is why I am digging through the router. How...

    Port 445 (Shields Up)

    Yea, I saw that mentioned on the website but I am not finding that on my system. I had checked Shields UP before I switched out my old router for this one and everything was good previously. As soon as I stood up the new router and ran it I got the port 445 hit.

    Port 445 (Shields Up)

    I am running the latest Merlin build on an AC68R and when I ran Shields Up I notice that port 445 shows open. I am checking through the config pages and I don't see anything enabled that would cause this. Can someone help point me in the right direction please? Thank you.

    QNAP TS-212 Question

    Yea, I spent the day fighting with FreeNAS and scrapped that idea. Ordered a QNAP TS-219PII earlier today instead. Researching now possibly installing BOXEE on the PC I was going to use, since DLNA sucks so bad...

    QNAP TS-212 Question

    I appreciate the replys guys. I think I am now going to go the way of a DIY build with FreeNAS. I actually have an HTPC I had built a few months ago which I now am not using and should be a good candidate. It was built to be quiet and be power friendly. It is a Core i3 2100T processor with 4GB...

    QNAP TS-212 Question

    I am thinking of purchasing this unit as my first NAS solution (I can get this for about $200), but I have a question. I already have '2' 1TB drives I plan to use. I know that within the next year I will be wanting to upgrade to 3TB drives. Does this NAS give me the ability to perform a drive...
