Hi,
I have FINALLY received and installed the 323 on my network. Updated firmware to 1.03 too and mounted the drive on two Win XP Pro SP2 PCs. Even ran several DivX and AVI movies off the UPNP AV server and all is smooth.
However I have two nagging problems:
1. Each time I turn off the PC and restart, I have to re-mount the 323 - I did not find any "reconnect automatically" option anywhere.
2. I run SW version 3.5 and Vista "sees" the 323 on the network but when I try to mount it I am presented with a password request. I enter the admin password but it does not work. Now, on Dlink's page, they say about Firmware 1.03, quote "Fixed 2 gig limitation for Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista.". In my vocabulary this means that Vista recognizes the 323. WTF??
I have searched the forum for answers but most are so convoluted and "polluted" with irrelevant personal experience that I cannot really understand what I need to do to fix the above problems. This also might have something to do with the fact that I am a complete Linux noob <g>
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Al

Hi,
for your mounting problem on winXP:
the procedure I do for mounting is:
from windows explorer, go to tools, map network drive
Make sure reconnect at login is checked
point to your DNS-323 and choose a drive letter.
Also, if you are using a password on your XP machines, try adding the same username and password onto the DNS-323, so it wont ask you for a password when you open the mounted volume.

Hi for your Vista problem try this, it worked for me too:
Run secpol.msc
Go to: Local Policies > Security Options
Find "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level"
Change Setting from "Send NTLMv2 response only"
to
"Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated"
Vista defaults to only send the more secure NTLMv2 protocol, which these NAS devices / Samba do not support.

Hi guys,
Thanks for the help.
Eric - your solution works fine - thanks!
"nsign" - no joy :-). Since I have Vista Home Premium, I don't have access to the Network Security settings but I did edit the registry LMCompatibilityLevel from 3 to 1 - this is what secpol does anyway, right? But no, I still cannot map the 323 without being presented with that credentials request which invariably fails...
So no Vista access from me yet. Any other ideas?
Best,

Now that you say that, my Vista PC does not see, and is invisible to other XP PCs on the network. HOWEVER, it does see the 323 on the network and I do have access to its web page and config. Moreover, the dlink discovery utility finds it correctly but I cannot map it.
I am not sure if these two facts are connected but regardless, yours is the first post saying that the 323 worked "out of the box with Vista" that I've read anywhere, and I did make a lot of searches on the subject.
I would be grateful if you could remember how that happened.
IMHO, the "Reconnect and logon" and "How to make 323 work with Vista" (all Vista versions) should make it to the top of the top of the stickies area :-).
Best,
