The Graveyard - Products No Longer Supported => D-Link Storage => DNS-320 => Topic started by: robdude79 on May 21, 2012, 05:42:06 AM

Hi,
I recently brought a D-link DNS-320 and have searched the relevant forums for that product but all the solutions for resolving a 'map network drive error' have been unsuccessful.
I have tried mapping the drive on this product using the IP address and I can ping the IP address for this device, the device also appears on my network via UPnP but I unfortunately I get a error message when trying to map the network drive, the storage utility program which came with the product to map drives doesn't work either.
I have gone through previous posts and tested this without my firewall on and changing the TCP/IP settings, I have also tried using DHCP and two different static IP addresses.
So If anyone can offer any potential help that would be greatly appreciated.

Robdude79,
You didn't specify what operating system you were using and the steps while similar are different for each. If the last post didn't get you up and running try this:
(Note: I named my DNS-320 box DNS-320. If yours is called by a different name then substitute that name where I have DNS-320.)
DNS-320 Setup
Login to your DNS-320
Click on the “Management” Tab
Click on the “Account Management” Icon
Click on “Network Shares”
Click on “New”
When the “Welcome To Network Shares Setup Wizard” opens, click the “Next” button.
When the “Select Share Folder” window opens put a check next to “Volume_1” and click the “Next” button. (Note: This shares the entire drive. If you just want to share one or more folders, double click on “Volume_1” to open the directory tree and place check mark(s) next to the folders you want to share).
When the “Shared Folder Access Rights” window opens select the “All Accounts” button and click the “Next” button.
When the “Assign Access Rights” select “Read / Write” and click the “Next” button.
When the “Network Shares Settings” window opens click the “Next” button.
When the “Assign Privileges - Access Methods” window opens put check marks next to “CIFS, AFP & FTP” and click the “Next” button.
When the “FTP Settings” window opens select “FTP Anonymous Read / Write” and click the “Next” button.
When the “Finish” window opens, review your settings and click the “Finish” button.

Map Network Drive in UBUNTU 12.04
Go to (Dash home>Click Second Icon from Bottom Left>Installed>Ubuntu Software Center>Enter “cifs-utils” into the search box.
or
Code:
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
Make a DNS-320 directory under the “/media folder
Code:
sudo mkdir /media/DNS-320
Edit your /etc/fstab file (you need root privileges) to add this line:
Syntax = “//servername/sharename /media/mountname cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0” (without the quotes).
Mine is “//DNS-320/volume_1 /media/DNS-320/volume_1 cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0”

I have mapping issues aswell :(
1.step in petehiggins guide fails for me. I run through the network share wizard as instructed, but no share ever shows up in the list. Any idea what can cause this? I can see the DNS-320 on my network, but i cant see Volume_1.

For a start Yose, how did you set up the drives in your DNS-320, RAID 0, 1, JBOD?
What operating system are you using?
What do you see on the right hand side of browser window after you have logged in to your DNS-320? - ours shows Storage Status and under that Recent Activities.
When you click on the 'management' tab and select 'System Status' what do you see under 'Volume Information'? - it will give volume name, volume type, sync time remaining, total HD capacity, used space and unused space.
If you don't see all of the disk information then you may have problems with your disks or there may be a problem with the way you set them up.
-
Its a single disk, no RAID.
Im using WIN7.
After logon, it shows the same as you describe on the right hand side. Srorage status, and recent activities.
"Management" --> "System status":
Volume Information
Volume Name Volume_1
Volume Type Standard
Total Hard Drive Capacity 1831.82 GB
Used Space 252.8 GB
Unused Space 1579.02 GB

When I go to to "Account management"-->"Network shares" and press new, follow the wizard, nothing happens. Its like i cant make a new share. Only thing that happens is that the volume_1 disappears from windows. If I reboot NAS, it is visible again.
-
Very strange. Unfortunately we don't use windows except for one copy in a VM for testing anything that goes on a clients computer.
I get the feeling it might be a windows problem but I might be wrong - windows users please help.
Can you access the data on the NAS from 'network' in windows explorer? If so I would start looking at the win7 permissions. If not you may have to go through the NAS setup procedure again including formatting and restoring your data from backup.
-
Yes it is very strange.
I can access data from windows explorer. But if I try to add a new share on NAS, i cant access data from windows explorer, until after reboot of NAS.
I dont feel like formatting right now, so I guess i have to live with the way it works.
Thank you very much for helping though.

petehiggins,
Thanks for posting the above. It helped me a lot. I could not understand why though the nas is not viewable in the usual network list. Its as if samba isnt supported. However I put what you said and it found the drive volume straight away. Previously I had put in \\Dns-320 but it kept failing...
Why this isnt in the manual or help in the web interface, I'll never know..
Cheers!!! ;D

Hi robdude79,
if you use IE 10 as your Default browser, try Chrome or Firefox. IE 10 has limited Java functionality.
In may case that worked like a treat.
