I am pretty sure user Iznakurnog is correct - about Domain setup on the Windows machine making a difference.
Just tried this myself. brand new DNS-323 - B1 HW, just flashed to 1.05 FW, brand new WD GreenPower 1TB drives formatted to RAID 1, etc. Used the same copy of easy_search_4.2.0.0 (on a USB stick).
When I used my work laptop (XP SP2) which is on the company's domain, it kept giving one of two messages:
- Bittorrent is not enable on this device (or similar)
- gives the blue box that looks like it's going "don't power off device...", and then "check drives"
What tipped me off later was when I tried to map the drive using the bottom of the easy_search tool, it asked me for login/password! I had just factory reseted, reformatted my drives, even reflashed the FW to try to get past the above, so clearly there is no login/users set up. (I was able to copy files to it by opening \\192.168.0.32\Volume_1, but the BT folder never appeared.)
Then I moved to my home computer (which is Mac mini, running Parallels w/ XP SP2), which is not configured for domain. I was able to map the drive without the login/password prompt, so I tried the bittorrent button. I got the blue box with the message, and quickly showed the progress bar that it was downloading the BT program. And voila, bittorrent panel on the webpage stopped kicking me out. (BT folder is also present on Volume_1.)
Of course, there are differences between the two, such as:
- work laptop XP has many different software installed, whereas Parallels XP is rather clean
- big difference in computer (Thinkpad vs. Mac)
But I am 90% confident the domain caused the issue, due to the different behavior in Drive mapping between the two.
Hope that helps
(P.S. I went through a number of forums before deciding on the DNS-323. Liked it enough I ordered two. Excellent cost/benefit product! =)
