Hey all,

I have a problem with my dns-323, try contacting dlink support but i'm sure i will have better support here

here's the message i sent;

Hi,

I use the dns-323 at home as a NAS

and it started acting weird

first thing is it never goes to sleep even if i tell him to put the drives to sleep at 5-10 min it just wont

the lan light is always blinking, always, and my switch (linksys sd2008) is always blinking up to my router, it seems to be broadcasting alot.

I tried removing 1 of the drive but the lan led continue to blink, but does not seems to broadcast on my network

but if i have the 2 drive it broadcast like hell,

I tried updating to version 1.07, then revert to default settings

nothing seems to work,

I disable UPNP, itune server, ftp, everything

i use wireshark to catch the broadcast its sending:

10.5.40.129 239.255.255.250 SSDP M-SEARCH * HTTP/1.1

it gives me this, every 0,2 second

10.5.40.129 is the address of the nas,

i dont know why it's trying to do that but it's making my drive unable to go to sleep and slowing my network by flooding it with unnessary request.

a little background, i have funplug installed but now i uninstalled it thinking it could be the problem, it isnt,

heres the reply i got from dlink:

1-What RAID configuration are the hard drives set to use?

2-The next couple of suggestion may depend on the RAID function being used. For testing, you may want to try them as single drives to ensure it is not a drive problem.

3- If possible, have you tested the hard drives each individually in different slots within the DNS-323?
4- Have you tried swapping hard drives around to the other slot and checking the network again?

1- no raid, individual drive with backup and incremential backup

2- i tried the first drive in each slot the lan light always blink but there seems to be no broadcast, if i put 2 drive broad cast continue, did not try the second drive alone...

3- see number 2

4- see number 2

I'm wondering if someone on the forum had the same as me

thank you

yes, I'm having the exact same problem. So much so that my Linksys switch is getting hammered and not passing Internet traffic through my network very well. Help!

yann01 · 2009-08-11 22:14:09

hmmm i'm sorry deto but the problem you seems having is not de the same as me,

from your wireshark log the dns-323 seems only to to be answering request that your pc asked,

try with the pc offline.

my problem always occur the dns-323 could be the only equipement connected to the network switch and it still send the traffic (in my case broadcast).

Yann01 - disable the upnp AV server and see what happens

I have a similar setup and was having the same issues.

Initially it was when Transmission was running and when I stopped it everything ran fine again. Turns out Transmission was symptom of the cause which was LLTD.

As soon as I disabled LLTD (Under advanced menu) everything returned to normal even with transmission running.

deto · 2009-08-12 01:23:01

The capture I posted in that thread wasn't representative because it does the same thing when that PC is turned off. I noticed the same type of SSDP traffic on mine as well.

already tried disabling UPNP did not help will try the other thing but right now my second disk is at my folks home (always keep 1 disk at my appartement the other at my folks and once a month make a backup :p

yann01 · 2009-08-12 02:23:03

lltd was already disabled, when i get the second disk i will more

i did not use transmission,

the only thing i use of ffp was rsynch for my backup

yann01 · 2009-08-13 04:28:04

found the problem

from the equipement i was sure that was not the cause

it's my switch a linksys sd2008 i was sure it was rock solid, but lately i have been having problem with my ps3 connection but not with my pc

the switch has a problem with gigabit connection, seems to be a problem my version is 2.2 and the 2.1 have the same problem,

the newer 3.0 switch dont have the problem.

well at least i have a lifetime warranty on the switch now to contact linksys support.... i hope it's better than bell support, nothing against indian people, but english is not my primary langage and listening to someone with an foreign accent and a crappy phone line is pretty hard for me....

anyway i post back when i receive my new sd2008

I had same problem with my DNS-323 had just added second disk to my NAS and upgraded to firmware 1.08 when I noticed the increased traffic.

I found out that it is the BitTorrent app on the DNS-323 thats causing all the traffic. After installing the fonz fun_plug [http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/] setting up the ssh server and logging in as root I was able to use command:
killall -9 btdog
to kill the bit torrent daemon and straight away the crazy network stopped.

To solve this permanently I installed the transmission bit torrent software [http://dns323.kood.org/forum/t2719-%5BREL%5D-Transmission.html]
NOTE: one mistake I made while installing when running the tranmission manually my web interface worked but starting it with the proper start script [$ /ffp/start/transmission.sh start] I would get connection refused.
Turned out I mistyped the line:

$ su nobody -c "transmission-daemon -f -g /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon -t -u <username> -v <password> -a 127.0.0.1,192.168.*.*"

spelling the path /mnt/HD_a2/.tranmission-daemon and it was creating second set of config files so using the start script it was using different set of config files....

Once I had transmission working I then disabled BT from starting up by renaming the folder Nas_Prog/BT to Nas_Prog/_BT so bittorrent didn't start on reboot of the device.

This was the same problem I had and this immediately made my network traffic behave. Thank you for an intelligent and very clear posting! I will try the rest of your solution soon. (+1)
