Just got the 345 and its lost its network share and now wont allow me to create one. It goes through the process but it wont actually save it. IVe tried every firmware and re-set the share centre. Anyone have an idiots guide to getting it to work please

Link>Welcome!

• Link>What Firmware version is currently loaded?
• What region are you located?

I would set up a static IP address on the router thats out side of hot main host routers IP address pool, i.e. 192.168.0.34 or .45.

PC 3rd Party Security Software Configurations

• Turn off all anti virus and firewall programs on PC while testing. 3rd party firewalls are not generally needed when using routers as they are effective on blocking malicious inbound traffic.

PC Web Browser Configurations
What browser are you using?
If IE 8, 9, 10 or 11, set compatibility mode and test again.
Disable any security browser Add-ons like No Script and Ad-Block or configure them to allow All Pages when connected to the router.
Clear all browser caches.

thanks for the welcome and reply!

Im in the UK and using 1.03 firmware, router address at the moment is 192.168.1.137.

Ive used chrome and safari on a mac and chrome/firefox and ie 11 on Windows.

I would walk thru, use wizards if possible, using a Windows PC and IE11 first and see how it goes. Use the users manual to guide you and help with information.

So ive been fiddling and can get the usb drive to show up as a network share, but still no joy with the main drives. I can stream using twonky and can access te router through the mycloud web address.

[frogdr1ver]

Now when i try and add a network share IE just hangs then times out.

[frogdr1ver]

Also noticed that when i disconnect the DNS from the router it and connect directly by cable to the laptop the setup wizard wont find it.

I recommend setting up a Static IP address first off on the DNS. I personally use 192.168.0.34 for mine. You can use .45 or something easy for you to remember and thats not inside your routers default DHCP IP address pool. It needs to be outside of the pool. Most D-Link routers default pool are 192.168.0.100 thru .199.

The DNS needs to be connect to a router as it needs DHCP IP address services from the router. You can use a switch in between the router and DNS as well which is preferred to help limit any un-necessary router processing. You can connect your wired PC to the switch as well. Set up a IP address reservation for the PC ON the router.

Hi again

Am i setting that on the NAS or on my router? I did try using those IP's but it wouldnt accept them?

[FurryNutz]

Set the Static IP address ON the DNS, set up the Reservation IP address ON the router.

What Mfr and model# is the main host router?

[frogdr1ver]

I've got a BT Homehub 5, here is a screen shot of the router page the NAS is showing on

[frogdr1ver]

Is it when i get to this part of the wizard i set the static IP

If so it wont let me set an IP address as low as the ones you suggest?

[FurryNutz]

Remove the IP address configuration from the main host router and set up the Static IP address ON the DNS using it's web page. Just leave the DNS set to DHCP on the main host router so it gets an IP address. Use that dynamic IP address it gets to connect to the DNS's web page. Once there, go in and set a Static IP address ON the DNS. Static IP address should be 192.168.1.34, Gateway will be the IP address of your main host router, so if it's 192.168.1.254, use that. Subnet Mask will be the same as what the Main Host router uses, I presume 255.255.255.0

[frogdr1ver]

Still no joy, can access the usb drive but IE is locking up when i try and change the network share ive also noticed this error message in the log CIFS: Authentication for user ["my email"] has FAILED and there is this one CIFS: [::ffff:192.168.1.68] connected to [USBDisk1_1] as user [nobody].

[FurryNutz]

Does FF do the same thing?
