Hi there,
how is it possible to use the DNS directly connected to a computer? Could I plug it in USB?

No, you cannot.
It is a network appliance. Plug it into the same network hub as your computer.
The USB jack on the back of it is for a printer.

You can directly connect your DNS-323 to your computer through the network port using a regular patch cable - you will also need to either configure static ip addresses, or configure either the DNS-323 or the computer to be a DHCP server.
It's probably easier to just plug into your router and use it as a NAS.

thanks. This is the way I am using the DNS at the moment (plugged into the router). The problem is that the wireless file transfer from the DNS to my computer is 1,05 MB/second... :-(

Sounds like you need to upgrade your wireless hub!
I have Wireless N, good speed (50 MB/s). But when I want to move lots of stuff around I jack in a cable. No wireless can beat 100B/T. And really, even 10B/T is more stable over time than wireless. All you have to loose is one wireless packet to ruin the entire transfer......
For that matter, I can't recall if the 323 supports speeds over 10 B/T. It seems the drive SATA rate is only 1.5 MB/S.....
For that matter, if the drive transfer rate is under 1.5 MB/s, maybe your already getting the max rate?

50MB/s over wireless-n - not likely - that translates to 400mb/s, current wireless-n technology is limited to a theoretical 300mb/s, and in practice delivers a heck of a lot less - if you could get 80mb/s, I'd say you were doing well.
The DNS-323 on the other hand is equipped with a gigabit interface and is capable of delivering in excess of 200mb/s.
And for what it's worth - you can lose a packet or two or a few hundred before your transfer fails - tcp/ip is by design, self healing - missing packets are detected and retransmitted, either by the transfer protocol, or the application itself.
@FredvonSyd - you've seen the numbers, now ditch the wireless and connect your computer directly to the router - you'll see a significant improvement in throughput.
