I have been using my dns323 for a while with vista and XP and today (after I have been fixing fs errors with the dns) Vista is saying "Windows needs to install driver software for your DNS-323 Network Hard Drive"; options:
Locate and install driver (recommended)
Ask me later
Don't show this message again for this device
I went to control panel and sure enough the dns323 was listed under "other devices" - when I switched back to the desktop, the driver install prompt has dissapeared - perhaps I accidently cancelled the dialog (or selected one of the options) with the touchpad (am on a laptop at the moment). Anyway, I have seen some posts here about vista drivers, but what is the driver for? I have been able to access the dns323 for ages without a driver ... why do I need one now ... what's it for ... how can I get the driver install dialog back when device manager scan for hardware changes doesn't detect the dns323 any more.
thanks

I believe it is for UPNP support in Vista. I personally do not use this (it allows anyone access to the data), so I have never recieved a message, nor have I ever installed anything extra. Actually, the first time I have ever even used easy-search, was just to try out the BT client.

Thanks for the link - I tried to install (right click - install) but get an error - something like "cannot be installed this way" - I have not got the vista machine at the moment so can't be sure of the acuall error.
