Title: The network drive always disappear or disconnect itself after restart
Post by: omishi on July 06, 2010, 02:21:46 PM

Everytime i restart my computer or laptop the mapped drive from dns 323 always disconnect itself.   So i have to use the easy search utility tool to map the drive again.  Is this suppose to happen?  Anyone have this kind of issue beside me?   Kinda suck that if i want to access the drive i have to map it everytime my computer/laptop need to restart

Did you make a persistent connection?

Yup, that is definitely an issue with your computer and nothing really to do with the DNS-323. Whichever operating system you are using should be able to provide a persistent connection that will restore after a reboot. All Windows platforms have this support.

What operating system?

Windows XP, click the "reconnect at logon" check box when mapping the drive.

Did you tell the computer firewall that you are in a local network?

Is the IP of the NAS changing?

Is ok i manage to fix the issue.  Just have to change my workgroup name to something else beside workgroup.  After that i was able to map the drive and it can still connect itself after a reboot.  Thanks for all the help =)

Odd, my workgroup name is indeed workgroup, and I've had no issues with the DNS-323 or DNS-321 reconnecting after a boot.  That covers Windows 2K through Windows 7/64-bit versions.
