FYI:i got 3 pc at home,all 3 have the same prob...the other 2 pc use vista32 ultimate...also the dns is connected thru DHCP while my modem/wireless modem is aztech 605ew

Hi!

I've got the same problem but with Vista/XP 32bit.
I don't know how many hours I spent on internet finding a solution but, except the workaround you (and I) use, I couldn't find anything else.
I tried everything: fixed IP, DHCP, DHCP with reservation (I use a D-Link 655 and all my PC/Xbox 360 are connected there).
Nothing worked so far.
Everytime I turn off the DNS-323, when I turn it on again, I can't access to the Volume but I CAN access to its web-page and I have to do the Network-Access Trick to make it works again.
I also changed the DNS' HD (a Maxtor Sata 300) with a WD 500Gb Sata II but same story.
I'm forced to leave it On all day even if I use it only the evening, when I come back home...
Oh, by the way, the firmware is 1.04 and the Hardware is A1.

Do you know if it's only a windows-related problem ? I mean, the DNS-323 works OK under Linux or Mac OSX ?

Thanks for anyone who can help me/us and sorry for my english, I'm from Italy.

How does the DNS323 advertise itself on a network?

Before I got my network Domain Name Service server set up correctly the DNS323 was the only machine that I could connect to by name. I assumed that the built in Samba server normally responds to some Windows broadcast queries?

I noticed (like the posts above) that the lookup by name sometimes failed, so I had to use the IP address to connect, or include a hosts file entry. Does anyone know what magic is going on?

In my case the DNS-323 is connected to the Dlink DIR-655 Router and, yes, it has a static IP like every pc connected to the router (even my xbox 360).
Editing the file you said, I should add a line like this:

192.168.0.100     DNS-323 (this is just a label or do I have to insert the Exact name of my 323 ??)

You have set a name for your DNS323 in the Admin web page > Setup Section > Device > Name

You need to enter that name on a line like
192.168.0.100     yourname

Remember, only do this if you have set a static IP for your DNS323 AND you don't want to set up proper DNS on your network. (In my case a firmware upgrade for my ADSL router included a better DHCP and DNS server setup.)

If you change the name or IP number of the DNS323, don't forget to update the hosts file.

Good luck!

Hi sjmac,

IT WORKS !!!!! I've just power the dns 323 on and then power on my Pc and it mapped the dns perfectly !!!
I just have to try to power on the dns AFTER my pc but I think it will be the same...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!

Now I have to try to install FunPlug and other stuff (like the fan control) to make it works with my Xbox 360...

Bye!
