I have a dns-323 that has fun plug and twonky installed.  Its been working perfectly for over a year.  Now I cant get access to the drive.  What I mean is I can watch streaming videos via ps3, but I can't browse in at all using a computer.  I want to move/delete/add files and I get :

Windows cannot access \\DNS-323
Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose.

I click Diagnose, and it returns:

The remote device wont accept the connection.

Im running windows 7 x64 and have updated my firmware to the latest 1.10 beta trying to see if this fixes the problem.  It doesnt.  Have also removed and went back to older firmwares and still have the same issue.

I can ping the ip number and it comes back right away.  But trying to jump in with a dos prompt gives me "The network path was not found"

Any ideas?

Try accessing the data using the IP instead of the name. If everything works then try to change the device name (NAS setup -> device -> name). Windows 7 should recognize the new name. If everything goes ok you should be able to change the device name back to what it originally was.

Gave that a shot and get the same network path not found.  Any other ideas?

Are you able to successfully ping the IP address?  Did you try validating the IP address through the IP table on your router GUI?

Are you able to get an HTTP connection to the IP address via a web browser?? If so, then one possible answer can be found in this post:

(I know it refers to Vista in the PDF name but it applies to Windows 7 too)
