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

I'm running my DNS-323 on a network with my server running MS Server 2003 & various XP machines.
I can see the drives ok, I can map & the 2003 box seems to use them fine.
Machines are connected to a domain off the server
DNS-323 on a workgroup as I cannot work out anyway of connecting to the domain
On the XP boxes & laptop when I access the network drive for the first time after a boot, either by mapping or just opening, it open the root folder then explorer seems to do a refresh, blanks the contents but then does *loads* of network activity which hangs the XP machine for ten seconds or more.
This only happens the once each drive, each boot but it obviously isn't right. When I open a shared drive off the server it does not do it.
The main problem is that I need to access the drive over an ADSL VPN connection, so it takes forever to do whatever it's doing.
Firmware 1.02b or 1.03 still the same :-(
Tried to junk smb & move to unfs3 but struggling to get the windoze boxes to talk nfs properly. Microsoft SFU can see the nfs shares being shared but can't access the files or directory listings. Couldn't access it at all (kept crashing unfsd with a 'can't cahnge uid gid' error) until I added all_squash to the etc/exports config
Next time I'm connected directly I can get an packet log, if there are any smb experts who could decode what's going on.
Do you think this is this an XP issue (but seems to work with anything other than the DNS) or a DNS impletation of SAMBA issue
If you made it to here through my ramblings then thanks

SOLVED :-)
Ok nice & easy solution - just took a while to think of it!!
It was my anti-virus scanner doing a scan of the drive when it was first mounted Doh!!
Thought I'd post it here though just in case it happens to anyone else
