Problem with Network Access Settings
« on: November 13, 2009, 08:08:16 PM »
Seems like after upgrading to 1.03 its one dang thing after another...this time I have a browser issue with Network Access Settings.

At one point I set the network access back to factory default.  Now I can't map the drive to Windows anymore - I suspect it might be that it remembers the old user / password I had - so I tried to create a rule for that user again.  Everything fine until I went to choose the folder, and the popup window indicated that google search could not find what I searched for, then I could not get back to the original screen at all.  Tried this with chrome, firefox, IE7 with the same results.  Closing the browser out altogether allows me to get back to the admin screens.

Any idea what is going on?  Is this a bug in 1.03 or is it something I might have done on Windows at the same time (but I get the same result on two different computers....).  Is there some place I can set this manually - I do have telnet access to it.

By the way, I can access the DNS-321 from the other computer - the existing mapping still works - its just on one XP system that I am having problems.  Any idea how to fix the problem from the XP side would work as well - this one computer just can't see the DNS at all, not via easysearch or any other way.  I can ping and telnet to it though so it just samba....

You know, I hate sharing things over a network on XP.  It always drives me crazy.  You might have better luck on an XP forum.  On IE go to options and find the Delete all stored passwords (something like that).  I think you need to delete the stored passwords.

Let me ask you this...  Does your NAS have users and passwords?  If you're running the default, just simple sharing then yes, you truly should find some good answers on an XP forum.  That might be a lot faster than waiting for a working answer here.

Arg...  Did I mention the fact I dislike XP networking?

Best of luck,
Joe

At this point I am pretty certain it is on the DNS-321.  It is no longer available from any of my computers, even though I can telnet to it.  The issue with setting the network access on the DNS remains.  Something about the web interface is broken.

I'm getting to the point where I might back up all the files, restore defaults, and format the drives...something is bolloxed.

Why not just reset to defaults and reconfigure?  It won't affect the data on the drives, and it's a lot faster to try. :D

OK, I did that - my web interface problem now solved.  I still can't map the drive in windows but at least I can play with the network access now.

One down and one to go!  :D

What exactly happens when you try to map the drive?

Figured it out.  My corp laptop (the one I can't map from) was switched from Symantec AV to McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention last week (they do these kinds of things without telling users - grrrr).  UDP is now blocked for all ports to and from untrusted hosts, which was not true when I had SAV running.  Mapping attempt is blocked starting with the first UDP packet to port 137, so my laptop can't even see the DNS much less map it.  I figured out I can turn the firewall off, map the drive, and still access it once I turn the firewall on again, so I at least have that to fall back on although its a pain.

They have also password-protected the configuration of HIP so I can't add my DNS to the trusted host list, so I think this workaround will have to do.

Sounds about right for a company machine. :)

You know, I made an assumption these were your machines, not company machines, and you were in control of the configuration.  Maybe in future postings we should state if the system is connected to a company computer or network.  Something to make it obvious it's not a home network.  To be honest with you, if I tried to connect my company laptop (I do have one) to my LAN for any other reason besides getting to the internet via a VPN connection, I could loose my job.  Your company may be more relaxed about it but mine is seriously not.

I'm not bashing you, just I made a bad assumption.
But I'm glad you figured it out.
