DNS-323 and Windows Vista or Windows 7

When I map network drives to the DNS-323, each time I boot up it says that windows can't connect to the drives.  I then have to double click on the mapped drived (with a red X on it) and put in my credentials and then it works..

Is there any way around this?!

This is a known problem with Vista.... (my Windows 7 works OK though)

Basically you have to run a .bat file at startup to do a 'net use......' to map the drive.....

Just use the same username and password for your windows login and for the dns-323 login.

Would not a "net use ..... /persistent:yes" resolve that?

No, cause Vista always tries to connect via the local login data first and that fails. As i said, just use same username/password for Windows and DNS-323 and you work around this.

Re: DNS-323 and Windows Vista or Windows 7

Here we go...... this is from memory...

Create a .bat file in the startup directory (this will cause it to get run automatically). Or schedule it....
Have the following in it:

net use X: \\IP-ADRESS_OF_NAS\Volume_1

some people have:

net use X: \\IP-ADRESS_OF_NAS\Volume_1 /USER:admin PASSWORD

but I have never been prompted for a user or password so don't need it....

hope this helps

Alternatively, you could add a username and password to the dns that matches what you have on the PC. In a workgroup environment, that is the usual cause of the username/password request.

My PC doesn't have a password (and having one is a huge hassel as I reboot often) and the DNS-323 will not accept a username without a password for some reason.. unless I'm doing it wrong

Re: DNS-323 and Windows Vista or Windows 7

yes you would need a password and then set up autologon. There are quite a few things that don't work without a password, other than security... Scheduled tasks come to mind...
