Local Area vs Wireless connection
« on: February 13, 2011, 09:35:17 AM »

Hello,
with my LAPTOP, when plugged through Local Area Connection, I can see under Network the DNS-323
with my LAPTOP, when plugged through Wireless Connection, I can't see under Network the DNS-323. So I can't map the network drive.
In both case, I can see others PCs in workgroup.
In both case, I can access to the DNS-323 control panel through the web.

Thank you in advance for hint, clue or solution!

Map the drive whilst connected to the LAN, and check the box to reconnect - it should remain accessible when connected by wireless.  The issue sounds like a name resolution one, and if Windows does not have access to a name server to name resolution, it's somewhat unreliable.

Hello,

no luck, it did not work, could not reconnect to mapped drive in wireless mode. My laptop in wireless mode can access my HP cabled network printer, why can't he access the DNS-323? When I open itunes, itunes sees the dns-323! What is wrong? Where should I looked to resolved the issue? My Wireless router is a DIR-615.

Thank you in advance,
Bruno

It's probably not the router - more likely to be the software firewall or security suite on your laptop.
