HI there,
I am having a problem with my DNS 323 on my Win 7 Ultimate. I have 2 nic on my system. 1st one is 100mbps built in on my motherboard, this nic is connected to my router for internet usage.
My 2nd NIC is a 1000mbps PCI card. I want to connect my DNS 323 on this nic. But i am having problems access it. I do not know why.
My DNS 323 works fine if i plug it into my router i can map it using the IP 192.168.0.32
When I plug my DNS to my 2nd NIC card. I used a Static IP which is 192.168.1.1 with subnet mas 255.255.255.0 with no gateway.
Why am i unable to Map my Drives in Win 7. Im able to ping my NAS but just unable to Map it.. May i know how can i fix this problem?

Is this the IP you are setting on the DNS? or is that the IP you set for the second NIC ?
-
This is the IP im setting on the 2nd NIC card..
-
Just curious, why not just connect the DNS-323 to the network and ignore the second NIC? What are you hoping to gain by making the network more complicated?
-
What ip address do you have set on the DNS-323?

192.168.1.1 is the IP for my DNS 323

Actually the NAS is only meant to be connected to my 2nd NIC. Since i do not intend to share it across my network and also my router ports are all full.. Thats why im having a 2nd NIC card for it.. Hope it clears your doubt.. :)

Let's see an IPCONFIG /ALL from your computer.

In an earlier post you state that 192.168.1.1 is the IP you're setting on the second NIC - so - which is it?
You cannot use the same ip address on two network devices on the same network, they must be unique, and if you have multiple network cards in the same system, the ip addresses on those NICs cannot be in the same logical network.

You would probably be better of with an external USB or firewire hard drive enclosure. The DNS-323 is a NAS and designed to be shared over a network.

Yes but I prefer something with Multiple HDDs, i cant have too many external hd enclosure.. So prefered a NAS single storage with multiple drives.. :)

Well, since you have your NIC configured for 192.168.1.1, clearly connecting another device with the same IP address is a non-starter! Configure the DNS-323 with 192.168.1.2, and you'll probably find happiness.

How do i configure the DNS 323 to use 192.168.1.2? I cant detect it using the Easy Search Utility.. :S
-
Reset it to factory defaults, find it and manually configure the network.

How can I reset it to Factory Defaults?

How can I reset it to Factory Defaults?
Hold the reset button found at the back of the DNS-323 for about 30 sec....
It should reset everything back to defaut....
Then EasySearch should be able to find it

Hi there,
I manage to change the IP in the DNS to 192.168.1.2 as mentioned. I try Mapping on my Win 7 but Im unable to map using this IP \\192.168.1.2\Volume_1.
I get a error code 0x80070035
The Network Path no found?
How can i fix this issue? Thanks ;)

k, now did you also change the gateway and at least 1 DNS?
in you case it should be 192.168.1.1 for both - the same IP has your 2nd NIC
set it, then from a Command prompt... try to ping 192.168.1.2
it should work

Gateway & DNS server entries aren't required - and even if they were, setting them to point to the NIC in the PC wouldn't do him any good, unless the PC was configured to provide the required services.

Do I need to set the Gateway and DNS.. If so what should i set the DNS to? Im not connected to a router so do i really need a DNS.
I tried setting the Gateway and DNS to 192.168.1.1 but still i cant map getting same error.. Im able to Ping and able to receive a response.
Am i missing out on something?

Since you seem determined to take the difficult route, and you seem not to accept my earlier statement that they are not required, let me at least point you in the right direction.
The gateway entry is used to tell a network host where to send all traffic for any destination NOT on the same network - since your DNS-323 is on a "mini-network" with only two hosts, and you have no intention of sharing it with a third host that is not on that network, a gateway entry may not be required.
DNS server entries are used to tell a network host where to send DNS queries in the event that it needs to reach a host using a URL rather than an ip address - since your DNS-323 is on a "mini-network" and you have no intention of sharing it with a third host that is not on that network, a DNS server entry may not be required.
Please note - the use of the word "may" - whilst the DNS-323 will work fine as a NAS without those entries, certain "non-essential" but nice to have features, such as email alerts and ntp won't work without them - however - as my earlier post indicates, even if you add the entries, they will do you no good unless the PC is capable of providing the necessary routing and/or DNS services.
Now - since you didn't believe me the first two times around - I see no reason why you should take my word this time so ....
GOOGLE is your friend.
You can use it to find out for yourself what the gateway & DNS entries are used for.
You can also use it to find who makes dual disk USB-SATA enclosures that support RAID.
By the way - the DNS-323 CAN be used as you are attempting to use yours - it's just so much easier to use it as it was designed.

Hold the reset button on the back for 10 seconds or more with power on. The data is unaffected, but all the configuration will be reset to defaults.

Hi there,
not sure if you came right, I have a similar issue with my vista installation.
my motherboard nic stopped working, so i inserted a realtec nic.
the computer can do anything except access multiple files on the dns 323, it times out.
any ideas on a solution here?

Disable the integrated NIC in the CMOS setup and be sure to use the drivers that came with the NIC, I have experienced miserable throughput on Realtek based NICs when using Windows native drivers.

thanks, i have thrown the realtek card away and purchased a 3com card.
this seems to have sorted all the issues out.
