DNS-323, Picasa and Windows Explorer
« on: July 01, 2009, 06:14:00 AM »

I'm not sure if this is a DNS-323 issue or not, but I figured I'd try here first.  My 323 has 2x Seagate 1.5TB drives in it (and the drives DO have the upgraded firmware from Seagate per another issue with the 323).

I moved our 15GB worth of digits photos to the 323 and mapped a folder Y:\Photos\ to our Vista laptop.

In Windows Explorer on Vista 32 Home Premium, when I open a photo folder, it'll take some time to load all the thumbnails, but when they do finally load, 95% of the thumbnails vanish and change to the windows default icon for .jpg.  If I reload, it'll do the same thing - but a different random set will change to the default icon.  This does not seem to happen on a local drive like My Pictures.

In Picasa, all of a sudden all of my 2009\ folders vanished from the Picasa Folder List, as well as about 50% of the folders from 2008\, 2007\ etc.  I checked Picasa's list of watched folders and Y:\Photos\ was still there (though it seemed to take an inordinately long time for Picasa to produce a drive list).  I uninstalled Picasa, removed it's database, rebooted, reinstalled and now it will only show about 10 random folders out of maybe 500 on Y:\Photos\.

I was looking through the 323's config - I do have Jumbo Frame set to off.  Should these been enabled for the Seagate 1.5TB drives?

Jumbo frames should be OFF unless you have a router and network card in your PC that support jumbo frames. Otherwise you will cause probably more issues.

Do you have another pc on the network that has access to these photos as well? I would like to isolate this and see if it is a Vista issue. Next firmware for the 323 changes the way it interacts with Vista and shares to improve performance however it does not sound like that improvement would help here.

I seem to have sorted the problem.

I had issues with my realtek 8139 chipset card and once I changed this all was good.

Does that go for Windows 7 too? Are UK customers going to get this? I still think we're at "official v7" firmware, even though the "v8" is listed I think it's beta.
