CtrlAltDel Posted April 9, 2014 Share #126 Posted April 9, 2014 in the presence of the correct or valid S/N and MAC-address it works great, I have the right pair (s/n and mac-address), I know how to use DDNS service and believe they set for me, I need Push Service Using/abusing Synology's resources like that isn't very cool though is it?

ccris Posted April 15, 2014 Share #128 Posted April 15, 2014 Hi all, My DDNS can't be used with XPEnology, so I tried to register for Synology DDNS. Before editing the serial and MAC address I got an error message that I can't register more then 5 accounts per day, while I was trying to register for Synology DDNS. Now, with my new S/N and MAC XPEnology is running fine, but get an error because my password is not right for Synology and can't register... Is there a solution for this? Thank you in advance!

Rather than use Synology's DDNS service try DNS Dynamic https://www.dnsdynamic.org, I've been using it now for a couple of months without any issues. You will need to edit /etc.defaults/ddns_provider.conf & add the following at the end of the file in order to make it work though.

Technically I agree with you. However if you're using XPEnology for production, I think you're already using/abusing Synology's ressources anyway, so I don't see the fuss.

tmelon Posted August 8, 2014 Share #135 Posted August 8, 2014 +1 here, can't find vender file. I am using Nanoboot-5.0.3.1 DSM 5.0-4493 X64 in my N54L Are there any different procedure to change MAC address - need it for Glacier Backup to work?

compcons Posted August 9, 2014 Share #136 Posted August 9, 2014 I setup an AMD system with 5.0 using a USB drive and everything worked out fine. I had no issues editing the vender file. I have now switched focus to getting an Intel SS4200 NAS converted over. I am booting from a compact flash card (IDE adapter) and the installation went quite well. I am having issues changing the MAC address. I think it is lack of *Nix knowledge. When I WinSCP over to the box, instead of getting a mount point for the USB stick, I just have \root and a SYN_DATA fodler. Presumably, I need to create a mount point for the CF card. I will muscle through this, but I thought I'd share since others who "cant find the vender file" may be suffering the same problem. EH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epicurean Posted September 24, 2014 Share #137 Posted September 24, 2014 "vender" file is a file stored in your USB boot disk (stick). I do not have the "vendor" file in my boot drive. Its a nanoboot formatted USB drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mengis Posted October 11, 2014 Share #138 Posted October 11, 2014 Hey dudes, thx for all your great work and effort. I have installed the linux ext2 filesyten on my "work" pc, taken the usb from my "diskstation" computer and pluged it in to the "work" pc, found the vender file and open it with the "XPEnology Vender File Patcher v1.0.0.1" and randomized it all and patched the venderfile and overwrote the one from usb. Pluged it back to my "diskstation" computer and booted it up, however the mac adresse is the same in the synology assistent as before, and the serial is also the same. But if i open the vender files i created with random patches the hex values aint the same. Which leads us to the questions I would like to ask, is things then ok or did i something wrong ? Thx in advance mengis the menace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpenx Posted January 20, 2015 Share #139 Posted January 20, 2015 Hello, how can i get QuickConnect support in my Virtualbox DSM?

mervincm Posted March 22, 2015 Share #141 Posted March 22, 2015 I am not sure if this is all you need to do, but I changed my serial (XPEnology boot 5.1-5022.3 running 5022 update 4 OS) (as it shows up in Synology assistant and in Control Panel / Info Center) by editing the 3 occurrence in USBshare1\syslinux.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eversavage Posted March 23, 2015 Share #142 Posted March 23, 2015 @ mervincm i did what you suggest and it shows the serial i inputed.. i wonder what mac is being used .. the real mac address from my MB NIC or a dummy one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leejbarker Posted April 21, 2015 Share #144 Posted April 21, 2015 I don't have the vendor file either... Have I done something wrong or missing something obvious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leejbarker Posted April 21, 2015 Share #145 Posted April 21, 2015 Ok... It seems there is a simpler fix for people with no Vendor File.. First of all there is a file on the forum that generates SN and MAC addresses... I'm not sure how to add stuff but it's easy to find.. Open the syslinux.cfg file on the Boot USB, I used WinSCP to do this. Change the SN and add after mac1=(The generated number from the spreadsheet). Don't put any dash in just the numbers and letters.. Save and restart.. I got this to work for me... It's confirmed changed in Synology Assistant and Control Panel. Also MyDS is working.

Faro Posted May 8, 2015 Share #146 Posted May 8, 2015 HI, I just recently installed Xpenology on an older PC & it is running DSM 5.1-5022 + Update 5. I am having many issues with your tutorial. To be honest, none of the steps are working for me as you have outlined. I used a spare drive with Windows 7 to get the MAC address from the PC. 1) The Excel generator (step 2 of this tutorial) gives me a new serial number based on the MAC address and the SN HEX code changes, but does not give me a new MAC address to go along with it. The cell for MAC HEX code No.1 fills in with "Recheck your MAC address". Why are there 1-4 cells for MAC addresses? 2) When I use WinSCP to login to my NAS as root from my host PC, I do not see my USB boot disk as seen in your screen capture. Needless to say, I have been unable to find the "vendor" file or use the HEX editor. I am stuck. I know that I can edit the "syslinux.cfg" file directly on the USB key, but without a new MAC address there is not much I can do. Anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

peros550 Posted June 2, 2015 Share #148 Posted June 2, 2015 Hello I am a newbie in this great project. So far I have successfully installed DSM 5.1 on an old Acer REVO3600 with Intel ATOM 230 inside and a 3GB Ram. Very happy with it. Then I wanted to have WOL and found this guide:http://xpenology.me/how-to-activate-wol/ which mentions as requirement to WOL: Validity pair of MAC address and serial number I tried to follow this guide here: http://xpenology.me/how-to-generate-synology-mac-and-serial-valid-pair/ but with no luck. I seem to have lost the concept here. I don't understand what happens with the PC's real MAC. Do we have to change it by flashing the NIC? Do we need to change just the syslinux.cfg file by putting a fake (or the real ) NIC's MAC? If somebody could clarify it for me , it would be really appreciated .

merkaba Posted June 26, 2015 Share #149 Posted June 26, 2015 I'm trying to figure out the details of changing the serial and MAC as well. I am reading a lot of people saying this does not work on 5.2. Is that true? I understand how the Excel doc works and how to change the serial in syslinux.cfg. I'm mostly confused on the MAC. Do you have to flash the NIC to do this, or can you simply add mac1=xxxxxxx or mac1:xxxxxxx to the boot line in syslinux.cfg as well? Can anyone actually confirm this works for 5.2. I'd like to be able to use autoconnect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0_Klu3 Posted July 2, 2015 Share #150 Posted July 2, 2015 What is the format of MAC address? Just a continuous line of numbers and letters? Or with - or : separating? Also I can use the legit MAC of my mobo with the new method and generate a serial with the generator and it will show as legit? And able to use all the Synology features?
