    Ouch. You are now hitting a weak spot of MetaRepository. As you know the download URL has changed some times. MR can handle that because it reads the installation logfiles, and exchanges the string downloads.nas-central.org by the URL where the package was downloaded. This way it's easy to set up just another mirror.

    Problems arise when you uninstall and reinstall a package. In that case the firmware package manager doesn't download the package, but re-uses the already downloaded zypkg file. Which means there is no URL in the logfile, and nothing is exchanged.

    No you have to either remove the zypkg file and reinstall Entware, or manually edit the startfile. I think the zypkg file is located in /home/admin/zy-pkgs/, and the startscript can be found in /usr/local/zy-pkgs/etc/init.d/.

    Hello, I tried by deleting the ZYPKGS, but I have the same problem.

    I tried to check the script, but I don't know where to change it. Ithink it goes wrong on these 2 wget

    local OKV=""

    if [ $PKG_OLDKERNEL -eq 1 ] ; then

    URL=${MIJZELF_URL}/installer

    OKV="-2.6.24"

    fi

    wget $URL/ld-2.22.so${OKV} -O /opt/lib/ld-2.22.so

    wget $URL/libc-2.22.so${OKV} -O /opt/lib/libc-2.22.so

    No. The problem is here, line 507:

    echo "Info: Basic packages installation..."
[ $PKG_OLDKERNEL -eq 1 ] && sed -i "2isrc/gz Mijzelf ${MIJZELF_URL}" /opt/etc/opkg.conf
/opt/bin/opkg update

    The 'sed' command here adds a line to the repository list of Entware-ng. That line contains a variable MIJZELF_URL, which has the wrong content. When you look upward, you can see this variable is extracted with some command line magic from PKG_DOWNLOAD_URL, which is set on line 23. That variable should have been changed by MetaRepository.

    This should be changed in 'http://zyxel.ddnss.eu/Users/Mijzelf/fw4' .

    And then there is a variable PKG_OLDKERNEL=0 on line 455. This should be 1, but I can't remember what is responsible doing so. It's not in this script, so somehow MR is responsible for that too. You should also change that.

    Thanks for your patience, I corrected line 23, line 455 was already correct. But I still have the problem.

    Looking at the log, it seems that it is not entering Mijzelf after Users, and therefore doesn't find the binaries.

    It seems is not doing this, but OLDKERNEL is set to 1, or may be MIJZELF_URL is not set correctly 

        local MIJZELF_URL=$( dirname $( dirname ${PKG_DOWNLOAD_URL} ) )/Entware-ng/binaries/${CURARCH}

       local OKV=""
    
    if [ $PKG_OLDKERNEL -eq 1 ] ; then
    
            URL=${MIJZELF_URL}/installer
    
            OKV="-2.6.24"

    You are right.

    dirname $( dirname ${PKG_DOWNLOAD_URL} )

    strips the mostright slash and what follows twice. So PKG_DOWNLOAD_URL should be 'http://zyxel.ddnss.eu/Users/Mijzelf/fw4/' . The difference is the added last slash.

    Finally thanks to You I managed to get Entware installed, but I had to add also a blank space after the last slash, I did in this way:

    $( dirname $( dirname ${PKG_DOWNLOAD_URL}' ' ) )

    But now I am getting a problem on 'libgnutls.so.28'

    I ran opkg update, it seems it went fine but when I ran opkg install zyxel-samba-replacement I got the error below, and now if I try also with the option update I get the same error on wget of libgnutils.so.28, can You please help me?

    root@NASAT :/usr/local/zy-pkgs/opt/bin# ./opkg update

    Now that is strange. gnuTLS is a TLS library, which provides encryption, and which for instance can be used for https connections. Didn't know wget could use it at all. But in your case it tries to download a file from a http server, so it shouldn't be needed.
    What happens if you download it manually and install it?

    wget http://zyxel.ddnss.eu/Users/Mijzelf/Entware-ng/binaries/armv5/zyxel-samba-replacement_3.6.25_all.ipk

    opkg install zyxel-samba-replacement_3.6.25_all.ipk

    With these commands it worked fine, and I assume Samba 2 is installed.

    However, I tried to see if the NAS was visible from Win 11, but even after running this enabling command, the NAS is not visible in the network.

    Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableSMB2Protocol $true

    Then on another PC with Win 10, I tried to disable SMB1, and at tht point it can non longer see te NAS shares.

    Is there a way to see if Samba 2 is really active on the NAS, please?

    Thanks

    If you have installed Tweaks, you have a 'Process Monitor' in the webinterface of Tweaks, which shows all running processes, including the full path of the running command. If /usr/sbin/smbd runs, it's the firmware samba. If it's /opt/sbin/smbd, it's Entware Samba.

    What do you mean by 'visible'? AFAIK the nas doesn't automatically popup in Explorer. You can only access it by typing \\<ip-of-nas>\ in the address bar (or, depending on your router \\<nas-name>\). Or you can create shortcuts or favourites pointing to that URL. Don't ask me how, when my W7 PC on some bad day suddenly run W8, I ditched Windows.

    Tweaks actually confirmware that the Samba replacement is running

    3264

    1

    root

    S

    5252

    1.0

    0.0

    /opt/sbin/smbd -D -s /opt/etc/samba/ZyXELSambaReplacement.conf

    3261

    1

    root

    S

    5212

    1.0

    0.0

    /opt/sbin/nmbd -D -s /opt/etc/samba/ZyXELSambaReplacement.conf

    At this point the issue moves to Win11, becauase on Win10 I see the shares.

    Thanks anyway for having helped me.
