accessing Buffalo linkstation web admin interface
I am running Vista 32bit on a wireless laptop. I have a LS-CHLv2 Buffalo Linkstation linked via ethernet to my router. I can access the shared drive in Windows Explorer, and map the drive and access folders set up just for my laptop login. I can access the web admin page in safe mode on my Vista laptop, or in normal mode on a desktop running XP. I cannot access the page in normal Vista. The page part loads - I can see the Buffalo banner, but instead of the login page apprearing there is a 'daisy' going round and round forever! Both laptop and desktop are running identical security software. Following ideas on the Buffalo forum I’ve tried editing secpol.msc - Local Policies - Security Options - Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level and changed the setting from "Send NTLMv2 response only" to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated" and "Send LM & NTLM only". But it made no difference. I’ve also tried editing the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SYSTEM->CurrentControlSet->Control->Lsa Right-click on "lmcompatibilitylevel" and choose Modify Set the Value Data to 2 (default is 3) and click OK [actually default was 1] The Buffalo people seem fixated on the idea it must be the security software, even though both computers run identical software, and the only difference is XP & Vista. Does anyone have any ideas?

having tried registering the jscript dll, checking flash & java, and clearing my cache I finally was able to access the webadmin page in firefox using https instead of http. And for some strange reason ie9 suddenly started working in http... no idea why but glad it's solved.
