I have used my DNS-323 for over a year, and all of a sudden it is causing Win 7 to blue screen.
If i boot normally, then turn on the D-Link, they the problem will occur.
If it does not crash, then easy search will not see the device at all.

Has anyone else seen this issue?

yes i have. windows 7 ult. 64 bit, crash recovery / blue screen reboot.

i have my dns 323 set to a static IP for easy search, it shows up in windows network just fine.
i only had the problem when the ip was conflicting.

Thanks for your reply.

not sure how to set a static IP,when simply connection will cause a crash.

any suggestions?

To be honest - I don't see why an ip conflict would/should cause Windows 7 to crash, but I'm not going to discard the suggestion out of hand - you can't set a static address without connecting - so you'll need to connect from another system (ie one not running Windows 7) - or - if I assume that the ip conflict is between the Windows 7 system and the DNS-323, then setting a different static address on the Windows 7 system would/should prevent the conflict from occuring and remove the bluescreen.

Worth a try.

From a different angle - did you load drivers for the DNS-323 on the Windows 7 machine?  Try uninstalling them, they're not needed to access the NAS, and the Vista drives used to cause problems, so maybe that is where this crash is coming from.
