Title: DNS-320L 1.07 and Windows 10 - Windows Explorer Mapping
Post by: RolfW on June 25, 2016, 08:29:45 AM
Hello everybody,

I am new here and for two days I bought a DNS-320L. Today I started to configure it, but when I activate CIFS, NFS, WebDAV, I don't get Access over Windows Explorer to my NAS (\\192.168.2.100\Volume_1).
When I activate FTP, then I can map it in the Windows Explorer. Any ideas or tipps?

Thanks.

Rolf

First, have you created a user with a password for V0lume_1 and then assigned those functions to that user?  That is the usual reason for not being able to connect to the NAS.

I'm sorry but I can't say anything about the possible settings required in win 10 because we don't use windows here.

For mapping Network Drive

http://www.dlink.com/uk/en/support/faq/network-storage-and-backup/nas/dns-series/uk_dns_how_do_i_use_the_storage_utility (http://www.dlink.com/uk/en/support/faq/network-storage-and-backup/nas/dns-series/uk_dns_how_do_i_use_the_storage_utility)

Windows Storage Utility is a tool provided on the installation cd that comes with he NAS.

If you don't have the cd you can download a version from DLinks support 

https://www.mydlink.com/download# (https://www.mydlink.com/download#)  select storage - scroll to 320L - should be listed there

So how do i leave all my users having access to different areas but i can also use my storage utility app?

This still has not worked. I wouldnt mind if I could just figure out what password and username combination I am supposed to use when trying to map a drive. I have just installed v1.08 and this had made no difference.

You need to input the user name and PW that you set up for the user account on the DNS. Then you map drive using
\\IPADDRESSOFNDS\SharefolderName
Should bring up a log in window, type in user name and pw given when you set up the user account on the DNS.
Be aware that there are issues with Window 10:

Try a windows 7 PC to test.

Sorry a little confused here. I setup my dns on no-ip. You don't mean use my log in and username that I use on no-ip within the storage utility? If so I will give that a go when I can over the next few days.

what is "no-ip?

If your logging in to the local IP address of the DNS, then use the DNS admin user name and PW in explorer when connecting to it in windows 10.

NO-IP is where i setup the URL so I can access my NAS from work.

I think the trouble also is I am using my work laptop which is connected to a different domain normally. So I have to change the domain to access NAS.

work domain sign in:

domain/username
password

However when at home trying to access NAS what do I put the domain as?

I don't think a domain is needed as either it differs or doesn't use domain configurations.

Let me check a few things.

1) you have setup a user and password for that user.
2) you have given that user access to either the whole disk or specific parts of it.
3) you have CIFS/SMB assigned to that user.
4) your NAS has a fixed IP address on your network.

If that is the case then on your local network you should only need to use network places (or whatever win10 calls it) in windows explorer to be able to find your NAS (note it will most probably appear as a series of letters and numbers, this is normal).  When you click on that you will be asked for the username and password you setup for access to your disk (see 1) above).  Filling those in and clicking on remember password (if that is still in win10) should give you access to the NAS.

Note: there has been problems win the Microsoft implementation of the CIFS/SMB protocol in win10 that may or may not be fully fixed.

Just curious if you have heard any information on any fixes with Windows 10 from MS by chance?

There have been some but they broke other things - not a good result.

1) you have setup a user and password for that user. --- Yes
2) you have given that user access to either the whole disk or specific parts of it. --- Yes
3) you have CIFS/SMB assigned to that user. -- I have CIFS, AFP and FTP assigned.
4) your NAS has a fixed IP address on your network. --- no it does not so to access it outside of my network I use a dynamic DNS.

I did manage to get in the other day, im not sure what i did!!! But something worked but I have to keep using storage utility to create a link everytime.

If you are trying to access your NAS on your internal network you will find it much easier if you give it a fixed IP address.  That way fixed information gets entered in the windows registry, including the user name and the password.  It will also make it easier for you to access it from outside your network.
