Quote:For some reason the Shares on my Windows Server 2012 machine are no longer accessible once upgrading to this firmware. However the shares on my Windows Home Server 2011 (Server 2008 R2) seems to work just fine. (I'm running a workgroup, so no domain / DNS setup)
I've been searching for a solution (or at least an explanation) for days but no closer to either.

Can it be this firmware messes up the SMB version (I think previously this was v1,4 to Windows machines) which makes Server 2012 try to connect with the PCH on the SMB 3,0 protocol?
Any suggestions how to move forward? Anyone out there successfully using Server 2012 shares on a PCH C200?

I'm now out of ideas, especially since the other clients can be accessed without a problem.
So this is why I'm thinking its a SMB version issue... Any heroes out there that can help?

Here's what I've tested
Moved PCH & Server 2012 to a new workgroup
Assigned the Windows 2012 the role as Master Browser in my workgroup (switching off all PCs and routers)
Reset PCH to factory defaults and setup NMT apps (using default options, leaving existing media intact)
Enabled Guest account on Server 2012
Created NMT account on Server 2012
Deleted and recreated PCH mappings on IP and host name (using both NMT, Guest and Admin user accounts)
Recreated Server 2012 shares (remove share from Server and then sharing it again)
Manually changed PCH IP address
Cleared Server 2012 DNS Cache
Access Server 2012 from Windows clients, WHS 2011 and Ubuntu 12,04 without problems

I'm using PCH mainly for playing FLAC files through my DAC, so working S/PDIF is a must for me . According to sanctrum's post about new firmware not playing bit perfect WAV/FLAC files it seems digital audio output is working again. Just to make sure, does it really work?

Actually I have tested MP3, not FLAC and with HDMI (not S/PDIF). You must relay on other people tests.

However as far as I understand the problem there is no bit-perfect gapless playback for any audio files at C200.
The main difference is that you can hear the short microsecond gap in case of MP3s, and no gaps at all for FLACs (potential problems with WAVs - see charly post at page 36). But it is still not bit-perfect… but who cares? You won’t be able to hear the difference…

I am worrying about MP3s – it has been announced that it is not possible to fix/improve it. The explanations provided by different people do not speak to me. In general it should be possible to make gapless MP3s regardless the coding bitrates and other parameters of MP3s. Even if there is a mixture of different ones. The prove is WinAmp or other PC applications that can achieve it easily (maybe not bit-perfect but no one can hear any gaps or differences to bit-perfect), so it looks that the architecture of C200 does not allows it somehow or that the fix is too complicated or just not cost-effective (too expensive). IMHO

possible, we have to buy a different one to the NMT
for the music we like
I think not, I think we need to fix the problems
not exactly cheap, for the problems that have

You may not like this suggestion.
The PCH sounds terrible with good quality music files. Read this and then if you build it use JRiver to play your files to your DAC.
Gary’s stupid good music *server*

The fact that Syabas can not for a year to update its firmware is the best advertisement for the future-purchase its products. So we wait patiently until Syabas will be an honest job and will take care of their customers.

MY PCH is on wifi and since the upgrade to the latest firmware, when I switch the PCH on, I need to tweak the network settings each and every time just so that it can connect to my wireless network. Whether I keep it on DHCP or on a static IP, it doesn't connect automatically. The network settings will say "unknown". If I fiddle with the settings it will say "connected".

Can anyone please help! Thanks
