Windows 7 and random "location is not available" errors ?
Hi all,
I have been using my DNS-323 fine with Windows 7 ever since upgrading to Win7 but I am now getting random "location is not available" errors 
I say random because sometimes, when you try to open a folder, everything is fine but others (even within a matter of seconds) the error pops up.
Does anyone have any ideas what might be wrong ? The HDD ( I only have one - in the RHS slot when you look at the DNS from the front ) dying maybe ? Disk fragmentation (and if so, is defragging done from Windows or via the DNS's setup pages) ?
TIA for any help.
Regards,
Adam Brunt

Re: Windows 7 and random "location is not available" errors ?
Are you using a wireless connection?
Network connections with problems may cause random disconnects and location not available errors, in my experience this is not on common with wireless networks when there is interference. You may find it is not as random as you think, but may show a correlation to the size of the files being transferred/accessed.

No. Using a wired connection from the PC to the router and then to the NAS.

Re: Windows 7 and random "location is not available" errors ?
I just started getting these messages again.
If you've mapped the drives, you have to "Disconnect" them, and re-map them. They may only work for the first time you use the shortcut; subsequent uses of that re-mapped shortcut results in the same error.
Erasing all traces of auto-login information in Windows 7's "Credential Manager" (Type it into search bar in Start Menu), still yields the same errors.
It only started the other day. Maybe it was an update.
