Readynas Public Link down?
My ReadynasPhotoII says my HostName for web forwarding is not registered. It has been registered for over a year. It appears the site linking to our servers is down. Anyone else having the same issue?...

It looks like ftp access doesnt work either:
It looks like netgear sys admins update vsftpd server to version 2.3.5 (or higher) without much thinking.
2.3.5 changelog says:

2.3.5 changelog says:
- Add stronger checks for the configuration error of running with a writeable root directory inside a chroot(). This may bite people who carelessly turned on chroot_local_user but such is life.
Somehow it bite me not guys responsible for this update... :/
