Linksys (Cisco) Surrenders!
It looks like I was overly optimistic about Linksys’s determination to fix the permissions problem with the WRT600N. Instead, they pointed the finger at Apple. Apparently the problem I have is reproducible in Leopard, but works fine in Tiger. Their conclusion, whether I believe it or not, is that the problem must be with the Leopard operating system. That is certainly a defendable position, although not the one I’d hoped for. I’ve posted my problem on Apple’s support forum so maybe someone will discover a fix. One small consolation, Cisco is leaving the incident listed as “Open” for whatever that’s worth.
I have the same problem…. bought a macbook, a wrt600n and a maxtor onetouch (just to use the storage link function) last december…. and couldn’t get it to work…. I don’t know what to do…. it seems like linksys won’t fix it, and I don’t think apple will fix it. maybe in the next leopard update… but If they doen’t fix, I think I will buy a time capsule… I need it anyway… great solution.. to spend more money
but if i use my external hard drive in the time capsule, will my windows pcs be able to write on it??
thanks!
