Did you reformat your drive(s)?

No, it didn't say you had to reformat going from 1.03 to 1.04.

Are these files, that have the errors, MS Office files (.doc, .xls)?

No, they are all kinds of files and it's not file specific as all the files do it after the upgrade.

After a firmware upgrade I always do a hard reset, same with BIOS update on your computer.

Before I updated to 1.04 I saved my settings using the web interface utility, then updated to 1.04, did a hard reset by pushing the little button on the rear of the DNS case for 20 seconds. This resets everything to default, then restored settings by using the previously saved file.

Give it a try, I think you will find it fixes everything.

I may have seen a similar problem.  I upgraded from 1.03 and file sharing with linux was very flaky.  I'm running Ubuntu Gutsy and sometimes my pc would lose all connectivity to the 323.  Windows XP was fine with it, but Ubunutu did not like it.  I would be browsing a directory and all of a sudden I wouldn't be able to access the 323 anymore.  After waiting a minute or two I would usually be able to browse again, but this cycle would repeat over and over

I downgraded back to 1.03 and everything is good again.  I did not reformat after the upgrade, but I did reset to factory defaults.  What OS are you using?

I'm a little puzzled here ...

Why would/should an Ubuntu system losing "all connectivity to the DNS-323" be considered a problem with the DNS-323, given the fact that a Windows system still has connectivity?

To my way of thought if it is the DNS-323 that has the connectivity problem, then ALL the external systems would lose connectivity - of course - if your definition of "lose all connectivity" differed to mine, which is not being able to connect at all - no http, no SMB, no ping, no ftp (if enabled) - the that would be one explanation.

I said losing "all connectivity to the DNS-323" is a problem,  I did not say it was a DNS-323 problem.  I am simply providing another data point.  Because the new firmware has an upgraded samba server, I am inclined to think that this is a configuration issue with my Ubuntu/DNS-323 (not a DNS-323 problem).

I should have been more specific in my "lose all connectivity" statement.  I lose all  SAMBA  connectivity from my Ubuntu system.  I don't know about web, ftp, ping, etc. because I did not try anything but SAMBA during these disconnects - Sorry about the ambiguity.  It seems the issue marmot74 is having is a SAMBA issue, much like mine.

So, What OS does marmot74(or anyone else who has this problem) use?

If every file has the problem, maybe something has changed in the definition of the users or
groups or share access permissions during the upgrade?  Check to see if the share definitions have
been affected by the upgrade.

I don't really use the user/groups. The only user that is defined is my personal user and is has R/W.

Samba is not exactly my area of expertise - but - I was over in the D-Link forum where it was mentioned that with the new firmware the DNS-323 is now running SMB directly over tcp/ip and not over NetBIOS as was done in the past - since this represents a change of protocol which can be blocked by a personal firewall, could it be a contributing factor?

guys the OS Samba was updated from 2.x to 3.x

maybe this could be the problem      a new OS ver could implement things differently and more efficiently so some things arent not needed like ti was before

maybe there is a new way to format the drives that causes the older format to act wierd and cause problems with this



if you havent re-formatted the drives (I know people say that you dont have to do this it works fine but...) then do so maybe it will fix the problem

I didn't believed this would work. But, well, I had already tried everything and I didn't want to go back to 1.03, so I tried your solution. And... It worked!

Just for you to have some idea, before the hard reset my ftp server was giving me around 20 to 30 kb/s, after the hard reset, I started getting 2 MB/s to 3 MB/s...
