Sometime people are up to throw things against the wall, With the DNS-320 this moment is coming nearby.
F***ng pheripal. At home have two computers, a laptop (Wired/unwired, but for configuration of the DNS-320 wired..... and on my home office just a desktop. Configuration with the desktop, put in the disc. Start the wizard, found the DNS and ready. Get to the storage utility, DNS found, mapping drive, finished. Applied fixed IP address, DNS works fine..........   AND THEN.... configuring my laptop. Switch off wireless and use networkcable to patch on the network, yes the same as my dsktop.

Execute ping and DNS appears in the Network, typing the address in explorer, i came in the sharecentre, however with no possibilities to do anything.

AND THE DRAMA CONTINUES.....  Put in the disk, start the wizard...... Nothing, DNS remains not appearing in the wizard field, still present in the network and even in the routers overview.........BUT NOT in the wizard.  Switch off switch on, light blinking result :NONE Wizard still not find the DNS...... Oh wat do i miss the WD netshare, it was so easy to do.... but this s***ty pheripal drives me crazy.....

Is the fixed IP that you assigned to the NAS outside the DHCP range of your DHCP server (router)?

Can you log in to the webserver of the NAS by using the assigned IP?

If the answer to either, or both, of those is no you have a network problem and not a NAS problem.  Fix the network problems and the NAS should work.

I can acces the NAS via his Static IP xxx.xxx.xxx.56 via my browser The Dlink screens appears, but only the GUI. I.m able to ping the ip address.... connect via the desktop, map via the desktop..... but not via my laptop....

OK, so the problem is your laptop.

What operating system does it use, is it the same as your desktop?

If it is the same OS then check that the network settings are the same (apart from IP).  Take care to check permissions and firewall settings.

Al systems running windows 7 home. In the router all device are shown, NAS operates at 192.178.192.59.. fixed IP. The Nass however show only as Media server at the laptop network. For shure the problem is somewhere in the windows 7 configuration at the laptop

Thus windows 7 is blocking traffic between NAS and Laptop. Maybe McAfee, but i disabled Firewall for a while but without succes. Maybe a setting is wrong..

Al operating on workgroup at the same domain.

I consider to buy a new drive and make a new start... But somewhere this should be not neccesary

I am out of my depth with windows OS, we don't use it here except for a cut down version of XP in a VM that is available for clients testing.

That being said I have to ask, can you connect the laptop to your desktop PC?  If you can't do that then you need to go to a windows 7 forum and ask about networking.  The fact that your desktop PC has no problems connecting to the DNS-320 says there is very definitely a problem with the laptop network settings.

Maybe someone that uses win 7 might be able to help.
