Title: DNS-343 and 323 - versus - Snow Leopard
Post by: jdemarchi on March 30, 2010, 08:39:44 AM: Hello.

We have a DNS-343 at the office and (like most others it appears), anyone running Snow Leopard cannot access any volumes through the Finder. FTP works fine, but nobody running 10.6 or above is able to connect by either browsing the Network, or using the Connect to Server command.

Although I've seen several posts on how to resolve this issue with a DNS-323 (upgrade firmware to 1.08, or use "smb://ip address")... I've yet to see any fix specific to the DNS-343. It's been frustrating.

So my question is... what can I do to fix this on the 343? Can I install firmware version 1.08 for the 323 onto my 343 to fix this? (My gut says, no way)

What is the issue and why does Snow Leopard work on the 323 but not the 343 when they appear (to me) to be essentially the same device, but with different number of drive bays.

Thanks to anyone who has the time and patience to help.

Cheers!

I have had no problems connecting my many different Mac's on my network to either device over afp.

Post by: jdemarchi on April 01, 2010, 07:42:26 AM: Well... it's an option, but we have enough files on there now that I'd prefer not to have install or run anything that isn't officially supported. I've seen enough posts on reboot issues after fun_plug'n that I'm wary of installing it on a company device.

Anyone have theories, or is there an official response, on why this issue has been fixed on the 323 while the 343 seems to be ignored? That seems like really bad customer support to me.

Thanks for your reply.

I am running 10.6.3 and am NOT having ANY issues connecting to my box...

I can share the 343 from an iMac and from a Gateway (running XP). However I'm perplexed about how to get the 343 to host Time Machine under Snow Leopard 10.6.3. If you are running Time Machine can you advise me on what I should do?
