Running two D-Link NAS on a mac network
« on: April 22, 2014, 04:39:17 AM »

Firstly apologies, if this is not the right place for this question, it is my first post and after days of searching I cannot find an answer (probably not phrasing the question correctly).

I have been running a D-Link 325 for sometime and have now added a D-Link 320LW to the network. I am a Mac user and am now having trouble with my mac distinguishing between the two NAS as they both have a Volume_1 and Volume_2. I understand from my searches that it is not possible to rename the volumes, and I have looked to create a new SMB mount point within the volume, but cannot figure out how to do this.

Has anyone got any suggestions how I can get around the problem?

thanks

Not knowing anything about the Mac operating system but I assume that it will let you map a drive to some determined drive letter or name.

Here we have 9 D-Link NAS on our network with each mapped to different drive letters via SAMBA shares on our OS/2 systems.

I don't know if this will help you but it could be something to look at.

Hi Ivan, thanks for the reply.

On the Macs it doesn't use drive letter mapping. you can search for the server (which is the netdrive) and when you connect to it, it offers up the two volumes to mount. I can't see any options for renaming.

SOLVED
I also posted this in the DNS-325 section and received a response from a very helpful member who provided the solution. If you are interested click here: http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=59071.0
