Title: Can't find dns-323 on network with new router
Post by: anerz on January 01, 2011, 10:17:06 AM

I've had dns-323 up and running without problems for a year. This fall I switched to new modem with integrated router, after that I do not get connected to the dns-323 again.
 Has web interface to connect via ip address but can not mapped the drive to get access to files on it. Can not get access through the d-link easy search utility.
Before I had a separate modem and separate router, have tried to link dns-323 directly in the old routes again, find it then.
 Is there a port that needs to be open in new device for access the dns-323 again?

Do the old router and the new router used the same network address range?

An ip address is made up from two parts - a network address and a host address - if your ip address is 192.168.0.102, the 192.168.0 is network, and the 102 is the host, if your ip address is 192.168.1.10, the 192.168.1 is network, and the 10 is the host (I'm trying to keep this simple, so we're ignoring the network mask).

If the network address is different, as I suspect may be the case, your problem is most likely caused by a software firewall or internet security suite blocking access to the new network range, because it sees it as "untrusted".

Either configure the new router to use the same range as the old router, or reconfigure the security software to trust the new range.
