Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.

Yesterday I defined a user + activated the FTP, anticipating that today I will be installing the Twonky player.
So yesterday night I turn off everything - the NAS the PC, the network, etc.
Today, when I powered it up again nothing - I can see the d@mn thing on the netwok but I am not able to map it! I get the password request just like with the non-XP PCs!
It only succeeded to map again after I deleted the FTP user I've defined yesterday.
Let me ask a very simple question: WTF? :-)
Thanks for any idea.

As a follow-up to the above: now the 323 mapping is erratic! Sometimes it succeeds and sometimes it does not.
This is the sequence I perform:
1. turn on the network.
2. turn on 323
3. turn on the WinXP-Pro PC
Sometimes I see the "new device discovered" balloon but even then, the auto map (or the manual map) does not always work. Like before the discover utility asks for user/pass authentication and fails.
Best,
Al

No - and as a matter of fact, I have never seen the "new device discovered" balloon displayed by Windows XP (Pro, Home or MCE) for a network share.
My DNS-323 is running firmware 1.03, gets it's ip address from a DHCP reservation on a Windows Server 2003 box running as a stand alone server (ie - no domain controller), the PCs are all in a workgroup with the DNS-323 in the same workgroup.
On my laptop I have a drive mapped to the DNS-323 and it's always in my computer, of course it will show a "red x" on the icon when the laptop is not connected to the network - on my desktop I never bothered to map a drive, I just open My Network Places and the DNS-323 shows in the list.
