Alright, this is one weird problem I had.
I have DNS323 connected to my home network via Dlink DIR-615. The router was setup with WPA2 with TKIP / AES and emitting signal B/G/N.
I have 2 other laptops laying around my house and both of them can pickup the DNS in Windows Explorer just fine and they are both connected via wireless.
The wireless setting on both laptops are:
Security Type: WPA2-Personal
Encryption Type: TKIP

But, I look at the connection and saw my laptops connect using Wireless G and not N, so I change the wireless setting of both laptops to:
Security Type: WPA2-Personal
Encryption Type: AES

and now both are connected using Wireless N.
BUT!

Here comes the problem, on these 2 laptops, I did not see my DNS323. I can open the configuration web by browser but did not see it on windows explorer.
Tried to look for an explanation on the net but did not found one. Then, it struck me that it might have something to do with the connection so I change the wireless setting on one laptop to G by using encryption type to TKIP and a moment after that I can see my DNS323 in windows explorer.

Anyone have any idea why if using AES I can't see the NAS?

Thanks.

the problem is for sure somewhere else.

by "sure", can you explain a little bit more?
I really appreciate any comments but hope to get knowledgeable comments and suggestion if not solution.

CAUTION SARCASM:
Which part of:
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DNS323
did you not understand?

What did you try after changing the encryption?
- Reboot the laptops?
- Trying to mount a share from laptop one onto laptop two?
- Connecting one of the laptops directly per wire to the DIR-615 and connecting
a share from either the DNS323 or the other laptop ?
- Questions over questions.

Again, your problem is FOR SURE unrelated to the DNS323.
The DNS323 does know nothing about protocol and/or encryption between the router
and the laptops nor does it care about it.

Hmmm,....which part of my post did I say PROBLEM IS WITH DNS323? And where did it says "THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DNS323" in the first place?
Seriously, if you want to contribute please read the damn post, I mean read through and not the first and last line for god sake. I did not say DNS323 caused the problem, I was merely asking if anyone can offer me some help about this issue.
I asked nicely here so don't start being rude.

Anyway, thank you for the reply.

i meant the problem is for sure not the encryption. But it could be related to the dns-323 samba settings and how it's interacting with your windows (WINS configuration comes to my mind)

Thanks. Yes, it should not have anything to do with the encryption yes I don't know why. Now I change the wireless setting I used from WPA/WPA2 to WPA2 Only and cipher type from TKIP/AES to AES only. Now it seems to work.

Surprisingly, I noticed that after upgrade to 1.08, the Jumbo Frame option was enabled.
Upon turning off that option, I can see the NAS on my network via wired/wireless connection.
