Title: Help - mapping is fine but can't access web gui
Post by: stevecmtl on July 21, 2011, 07:09:05 PM
Hi folks,

I've had the DNS-321 up and running for roughly 6 months now. I can map to my NAS from any PC/device on my network and have iTunes sharing properly set up.

However my router doesn't show the NAS in my router. It's no where to be found. Thus, i can't access the web gui. I'm pretty sure the old address was 192.168.1.131 but when i try to access that address i get nothing.

Anyone got any ideas?

Your router web interface will contain a table containing the IP address of all connected devices. If the listed IP addresses do not contain device labels, you'll need to enter each one in a browser until you find the DNS-321.

You still know the device name, since that's how you are mapping to it, right?  Just enter //yourdevicename in the browser window and that should bring up the admin screens.

Were you able to resolve this issue?

Yes i was able to resolve it... I tried what Dad Man Walking suggested to no avail.

In the end i just hard reset the NAS and i was then able to access the gui. Really strange...

At least everything is working (although the root cause is unknown). Thanks for posting your resolution. Sometimes a swift kick in the side is the only thing that works. :)
