I have no idea what my IP Address is for my DNS-321.  I only have MACs in my household, and Easy Search does not run on MAC.  I have guessed at quite a few addresses, and I can't find it anymore - must have switch IP Addresses on a power failure.

I give up - how can I get to my DNS-321 web utility so I can configure it if I do not know its IP Address?

I should add that I can see the NAS in MAC Finder and I can read and write files to it.  Maybe there is a way to find the address with some MAC utility, or find it with a hostname of some sort?

If you see the hostname dlink-xxxxxx (which are the last 6 digits of your mac address), you should be able to simply go to safari and type http://dlink-xxxxxx in order to get to the web configuration.

Thanks for the reply.  I am not at home right now to check.  Do you know where I can find the hostname for the Dlink NAS?  I can see the NAS in Finder as an object, but I don't recall if Hostname is in the Info pane.

Also - why is there no Easy Search application for the MAC at this time? 

Thanks,

Derek

Truthfully, there's no reason you need the EasySearch, just find the NAS on the network and login to it's web based setup.

True, except I don't know the IP Address of the NAS.  That is why i need to figure out IP Address or Host Name.  Easy Search would have done that I assume.  So if someone knows another way, let me know - great!

My dumb airport express does not list IP Addresses of connected devices that are plugged into the ethernet ports.

Use SuperScan to list all the devices on the network: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Network-Tools/Misc-Networking-Tools/SuperScan.shtml

That is a Windows tool.  I couldn't find a MAC version.... maybe there is one, but I can't find it.

Oops!  Sorry, forgot we were dealing with a Mac.

Maybe you need a Windows machine.   It's pretty lame that your router doesn't allow you to find the connected TCP/IP devices.

Try nmap http://nmap.org/download.html or the Angry IP Scanner http://www.angryip.org/w/Home

Yes, Apple does a lot of cool things, but they also have their fair share of really idiotic things.  Some things they make super easy, and other times unnecessarily complicated.  Arg.

Success with NMAP!  Thanks!  I can log into it now.

That's good.

ummm all routers show what's connected to it with ip addresses



usually it's 192.168.1.1 - or 0.1 - for dlink/linksys/airport express

you can look at what's connected to your router from your router's ui config page...

next time, make your dns-321 a static ip so you won't forget it...

plus - when you go into the dns-321 object, other than volumes is the web_page folder, inside is an html file - that'll take you to your dns-321 config page (aka ip number)

Nope.  The DHCP table only shows devices that have a DHCP lease, not statically addressed devices.
