Acting wonky!
« on: October 24, 2011, 01:47:03 PM »
I've had my DNS-323 nearly 6 years now with hardly a glitch or down time.  I'm running bios 1.09 with 2 hitachi (shows up as Samsung for some reason) 500gb hard drives.  Same drives entire time, no failures.  This setup is a non-raid, just 2 individual drives that I use to store movies pictures and other media to a WDTV live plus hooked up to my HDTV.  The drives still show up in windows and I can still write data to the drives either by copy and paste or through bittorrent on my windows machine to a mapped drive.  I can still watch videos on my wdtv box but I cannot copy files from my nas to either windows machine.  I'm running windows 7 on both, same experience.  The copy will start but within a few seconds I will get an error message saying the drive can't be accessed or even a blue screen and windows reboot.  This has happened on both machines for both drives.  Could it be the read heads on both drives have gone out or are damaged for both drives at the same time?  Also, if I do a drive check through the dns 323 software the nas will freeze up requiring a reboot.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thanks.  I would say its hard drive failure for sure except for the fact that the WDTV Live Plus can still access and play the videos on here.  ?????

Doesn't sound like a DLink NAS issue. Sounds like a Windows and/or infrastructure problem.

Windows to windows file transfers are fine.  I disabled the firewall and still got the same effect.  I might agree except the disk scan utility in the DNS software has frozen the unit 3 times now needing a reboot each time.  That's making me think its hardware related.

Hi,

I have similar issues with the DNS-323 (firmware 1.08). It worked fine for years and than started all of a sudden.
see also http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=40886.0

When I try to copy files from/to the NAS on any machine, it would fail after a random amount of time giving the following error: "The specified network name is no longer available."

I replaced cables, my router, the disks etc. while windows copy would fail, FTP transfers don't. it almost seems like the NAS is dropping of the network. running both FTP and windows copy at the same time learned me that it's not the complete NAS dropping of the network but only the windows copy stuff (samba) because FTP keeps running fine.

so far I never managed to solve this frustrating issue  ???
