First install fun_plug. Its really easy to get fun_plug running, just follow the instructions. After rebooting fun_plug will load automatically and the telnet deamon will also be automatically started.

Then the next very easy step ist to install twonky, just download the DNS-323 version from their homepage, it has an installer.

Hi Fickle,

I am not a Linux guy at all either but managed to get it going easy as.

You need to search for Fonz's funplug on these forums.  Then go to the link and download the funplug,  From memory there is a readme file which explains what to do.  Basically you end up with one folder and one file in the root of your drive.  After a reboot, these will load up.

Second: Download a telnet client like putty for use on your windows machine.  Start a telnet session with the ip of your 323 (I use 10.1.1.3 - static), and you will be able to conect. You should see a "busybox" header come up when you are successfully in - and thats it!  You can now run commands from there.  For example I am now using rsync to copy everything from one drive over to the other!

Fickle,

yea I am Windows guy at work and have enough linux experice to really screw something up But I was able to get this to run as well. I would follow their advice and use fonz fun plug. Once you can get that working, download twonky and like they said it has its own installer to make things really easy. Then if you want feel free to tweak your own fun plug as you see fit. Just make sure to save it as a UNIX file not as a PC text files (LF Only) or it will NOT work. I used EditPad Lite to do this as it was a nice free editor. But I have been able to do that as well as get torrents running. And if I can do it anyone can   Let us know how it goes!

Glad its working for you!

try using winrar

as for DLink SUpport for the 323 & Xbox360 .. does not work with any firmware as of lately (to inclue their latest release). they are still working on it

cheers

I suppose I should download fun_plug 0.4_test since I am on the 1.04 firmware?  That may be a false assumption...

fun_plug is just a special name of a script file that will be run when the DNS323 starts up. Most of us here use a package put together by fonz of these forums.

The fun_plug versions aren't tied to firmware versions. I've been running 0.4_test with 1.03 and 1.04 firmware, but I only use it to enable telnet (and I use the 0.4_test because it provides a more recent set of utils including e2fsck?) - I haven't got round to using any of the fancier packages.

One difference difference between fun_plug 0.3 and 0.4 is that some extra packages have to be downloaded and installed separately now but were bundled in one package before.

Actually, you don't need to install telnet or fonz's fun_plug to install twonky... it comes with a installer which I believe install's the startup script under /mnt/HD_a2/starttwonky, I can't remember if it works across reboots but if it doesn't uploading a simple script via ftp/samba whatever as /mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug as follows would do:

#!/bin/sh
/mnt/HD_a2/starttwonky.sh &

p.s: I wish the telnet howto mentioned how insecure telnet is!

If I'm using tcpdump (or snoop on Solaris) to monitor the network (the internet counts as a network) - if you login via telnet I can see your user name and password in plain text. tcpdump & snoop aren't even hacking tools, they're standard systems/network administration tools to see what requests/responses are flying over the network.

You should only ever really use telnet if your network has only 1 user (you!) and you can guarantee nobody else can access it... i.e: wired, in a secure area, no access to outside world. Even then you should use ssh instead as good practice.

hi guys,

just to confirm, i need to do the following in order to get twonky to work

1. get telnet working
2. get funplug working
3. then install twonky

i am not a linux guy (sorry) so does anyone have some CLEAR instructions on how to do all of them? or at least getting telnet to work then funplug? hopefully i will learn and can do twonky on my own (but help is great)

thanks

Dear fickle..  I suggest you to follow the directions that you could get from the following link.. They work for me very nice.

Do you really need fun_plug to get twonky working then? Doesn't sound like it...

No, you don't need "fun_plug" (I assume you meant fonz's fun_plug package?) to install twonky.

No, there's no reason not to run it. There are a few daemon's which seem prevalent in this forum that aren't particularly secure (telnet, certain nfs setups etc) so you may want to check what's installed & running though.
