Hi there,
Hope someone can help me out.

I have being using my 323 for almost 1 year.
It's current firmware is 1.06 (had 1.07 but downgraded to trouble shoot)
I have 2 Seagate drives:
1 -  Seagate ST31500341AS  (1.5T)
2 -  Seagate ST3500320AS (500G)

The 323 is connect to a Dlink DIR-655 router (latest firmware).
The 323 is set to DCHP.
All Computers and 323 are in the same workgroup.

My first problem (may be all related)- The network LED on the 323 is always flahing. This is causing all the network connected device's LEDs to flash (router,  IP phone, HUB). If I disconnect the 323 from the network everything goes back to to normal. So I know the 323 is the cause and it may be broadcasting. I know the flashing LED problem is in some other threads but I did not see a solution or explanation. Any ideas?


My 2nd issue began when I noticed very slow data transfer from one of my PCs (running XP) - 1.4G took 44 minutes.  I tested the same file on my 2nd PC (running Vista) - 1.4G took < 3minutes. 
I suspected it was a cable/noise issue and swapped cables around. No luck
I flashed both the NAS and router to the latest firmware and rebooted everything. I noticed that the 323 did not take a DCHP address - My router is set to give an address between 192.168.0.100 - 192.168.0.199. the 323 would have an IP on 192.168.122.xx. Very strange...
My router shows (in status) the 323 as having a 192.168.0.198 IP but when I logon to he 323 it shows 192.168.122.xxx. the Dlink Easy config shows the 192.168.122.xx IP.
Why won’t the 323 accept a IP from my router? any idea?

So I decided to map the 192.168.122.xx address to my PC and see my data transfer rate. XP machine - 1.4G file< 3mins .. Vista machine - 1.4G file 44mins.. what he hell?? Opposite of what I seen before..

I have rebooted and reset the devices many time and could not get the proper transfer rate on both machines..
After many hours I have this current work around - Set a static IP for the 323 (192.168.0.9) outside the router DHCP range. Both machines transfer the 1.4G file <3mins. However the network LEDs are still always still blinking and the 323 is not accepting a DHCP address..

Any ideas???.. Thanks..

it sounds like you might have more then 1 dhcp server running on your network somewhere, one that gives you the 0 address' and another that gives you the 122 address.  Is the 323 dhcp server enabled?  Are there any other devices, eg.  print servers that have dhcp enabled?

after you put fw 1.06 back on, did you restore your config from a saved file or input everything manually? 

When you reset the 323, make sure all the services are off(itunes, upnp, etc) and then enable them 1 by 1 and see which one is causing the network activiy
