HI there,

I am having a problem with my DNS 323 on my Win 7 Ultimate. I have 2 nic on my system. 1st one is 100mbps built in on my motherboard, this nic is connected to my router for internet usage.

My 2nd NIC is a 1000mbps PCI card. I want to connect my DNS 323 on this nic. But i am having problems access it. I do not know why.

My DNS 323 works fine if i plug it into my router i can map it using the IP 192.168.0.32

When I plug my DNS to my 2nd NIC card. I used a Static IP which is 192.168.1.1 with subnet mas 255.255.255.0 with no gateway.

Why am i unable to Map my Drives in Win 7. Im able to ping my NAS but just unable to Map it.. May i know how can i fix this problem?

Is this the IP you are setting on the DNS? or is that the IP you set for the second NIC ?

[newbie1234]

This is the IP im setting on the 2nd NIC card..

Just curious, why not just connect the DNS-323 to the network and ignore the second NIC?  What are you hoping to gain by making the network more complicated?

What ip address do you have set on the DNS-323?

What ip address do you have set on the DNS-323?

192.168.1.1 is the IP for my DNS 323

Actually the NAS is only meant to be connected to my 2nd NIC. Since i do not intend to share it across my network and also my router ports are all full.. Thats why im having a 2nd NIC card for it.. Hope it clears your doubt..

Let's see an IPCONFIG /ALL from your computer.

In an earlier post you state that 192.168.1.1 is the IP you're setting on the second NIC - so - which is it?

You cannot use the same ip address on two network devices on the same network, they must be unique, and if you have multiple network cards in the same system, the ip addresses on those NICs cannot be in the same logical network.

You would probably be better of with an external USB or firewire hard drive enclosure.  The DNS-323 is a NAS and designed to be shared over a network.

Yes but I prefer something with Multiple HDDs, i cant have too many external hd enclosure.. So prefered a NAS single storage with multiple drives..

Well, since you have your NIC configured for 192.168.1.1, clearly connecting another device with the same IP address is a non-starter!  Configure the DNS-323 with 192.168.1.2, and you'll probably find happiness.

How do i configure the DNS 323 to use 192.168.1.2? I cant detect it using the Easy Search Utility.. :S

[gunrunnerjohn]

Reset it to factory defaults, find it and manually configure the network.

How can I reset it to Factory Defaults?
