Lacie FAQs
https://www.mediaguy.co.uk/lacie-ethernet-disk-mini-home-edition/
I’ve got a new hard drive to back things up on. Seeing as this theme doesn’t allow comments on the pages, only on the posts, I’ll leave this space for people to make comment.
I recently contacted Lacie help desk for a problem I am having with Mini Disk 500GB NAS. Unfortunately, the answer was not helpful. Here is my problem. All my attempts to mount the NAS on my dreambox 500-s have failed. I can easily mount HD from a PC. Later I found out that the dreambox needs samba server running on the network HD to connect. Subsequently I discovered that Lacie Home edition is equipped with Hipserv supporting samba. Is there any hope for my NAS to “marry” the Dreambox?

HI There 🙂
Make Sure That your NAS has it own IP
DO NOT USE DHCP FROM YOUR ROUTER !!!
AND THAT YOU HAVE THE SAME WORKGROUP NAME ON THE COMPUTER AND THE NAS !!!
On the Lacie Edmini Home edition 500 Gb NAS make a folder and name it “movie” in the root of the “FamilyLibrary”
On the dreambox go in via the “ENIGMA” web interfacethat is if you type your IP to the “EDMINI” in internet explorer adressfield from your computer like for example:
192.168.1.XX your Enigma webinterface should pop up for your dreambox !
On the dreambox go in via the “ENIGMA” web interface
that is if you type your IP to the “DREAMBOX” in internet explorer adressfield from your computer like for example:
192.168.1.XX your Enigma webinterface should pop up for your dreambox
And go to the tab “Config” and then the tab
“Mount Manager”
There U do this !
Description: Hipserv or Donald Duck 🙂
FilesystemType: 1 (that is CIFS)
Automount: YES
ClientDirectory: /HDD
ServerDirectory: FamilyLibrary
IP: “Your IP to The NAS” ex 192.168.1.xxx
Username: Your Admin name for the NAS !
Password: Password for admin of the NAS !
Options: rsize=4096,wsize=4096
On the right side of the page is important
you have the checkboxes filled in with
RW: YES
NOLOCK: YES
INTR: YES
SOFT: YES
UDP: YES
Now Click the “SAVE”
AND wait !
If nothing happens press the “MOUNT” Button in the ENIGMA WEB INTERFACE !
And it should now show a Green “OK”
under the “STAT”
And now you should be able to reccord from your Dreambox to your Lacie Edmini Home Edition.
NOTE: I have the Dreambox 500-T
But it worked for me after a lot of try and error 🙂
Hope U Make it work
Good Luck
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009

Hello,
I own a Lacie Home Edition and from this morning I can’t access to Interface (GUI) from web browser. It says : “not found”
The sharing of folders is ok through SMB but not from HTTP. I try to reboot, to use admin tools but it says “hipserv not found”
May you help m ?
May be the latest firmware responsible of this problem ? (smb: ok but http: out )
Sorry but it works now
In fact I think that LaCie needs internet and DNS update (24 hours) to work again if you disconnect/turn off it from Internet more than one days.
I think really that LaCie Home Edition needs internet connection all the time. If you disconnect it for a long time from Internet, it looses all links even in LAN. very strange
All I can say is this… I scoured all the ambiguous entries everywhere…
I tried samba, nfs and voodoo….. everything
Your instructions worked THANK YOU!!!!
I have a LaCie ETHERNET DISK MINI GIGABIT (750 GB). Just now I found an incredible problem: sometimes the files written to hard disk are corrupted. The corruption is random and affects single random bits!!! The problem don’t depend on PC or Ethernet connection (I’ve done a lot of test) . Do you know anyone with the same problem? Thank you !!!
