I installed the firmware (after successful "try-it") on my A1 box. (I used the Alt-F-0.1B6+.bin).
When I did the "try it" version things seemed OK. I remember having a little trouble getting windows to see the DNS and I think it was running the "Run user script" under Services->User that finally allowed windows to see it. I also had to do some work configuring Samba...
I have the box booting up after flashing and I can get into the web-app to configure it.
Anyway now, when I try to "Run user script", nothing happens. It always says, "stopped". The same thing happens when I try to "Run ffp initialization script" under Services->System. I've tried completely removing and reinstalling both the ffp and alt-f packages thinking maybe I needed a different version of something.
I'm not sure what is the minimal amount of "stuff" I need on the box for windows to see it the way it did the DNS with DLink Firmware. This is probably on the first page of some manual, but I cannot find it.
Otherwise I can telnet in and ftp seems to work as well. Just no hint of it's existence on the network as far as Windows is concerned.
I feel so close to dns-323 nirvanna.
BTW, whats the maximum size of drive I can stuff in this thing with the alt-f firmware?
Thanks guys

Some more info after a good sleep:
This is what happens when I attempt to run the user script:
Mar 6 09:56:15 DNS-323 user.notice root: Services status:
Mar 6 09:56:15 DNS-323 user.notice root: user stopped.

Mar 6 09:56:16 DNS-323 user.notice root: urandom stopped
Mar 6 09:56:16 DNS-323 user.notice root: syslogd running
Maybe the S30backup config file not existing is a problem? It looks to me like this file is related to a backup service, so I'm guessing its nothing...
The more time I spend, the more Im starting to think that when I run that user script, its never supposed to show as "started" since it just runs and then quits when finished. Am I right about that? On the other hand the first line of that log above is:
Mar 6 09:56:15 DNS-323 user.notice root: user stopped.
I'm also thinking more and more that there is just some ffp service that I need to run to make windows see this drive in it's network the same way it does with the factory firmware.
The next thing I notice in the log is this recurring message:
6 11:24:52 DNS-323 daemon.info sysctrl: sysctrl: open /etc/misc.conf: No such file or directory
indeed there is no misc.conf file in my etc folder. Whats it for? do I need it?

OK, so to add some more to my tale:
I installed the ffp service SNMP since that looked like the obvious choice to have a shot at making the dns visible on the network.
rebooted the dns and this was in the log:
Mar 6 12:08:41 DNS-323 user.notice root: Starting inetd: OK.
Mar 6 12:08:41 DNS-323 user.notice root: Starting ffp: * /ffp/start/syslogd.sh inactive * /ffp/start/SERVERS.sh inactive * /ffp/start/portmap.sh inactive * /ffp/start/unfsd.sh inactive * /ffp/start/nfsd.sh inactive * /ffp/start/ntpd.sh inactive * /ffp/start/LOGIN.sh ina
Mar 6 12:08:41 DNS-323 user.notice root: Services status:
Mar 6 12:08:41 DNS-323 user.notice root: user stopped.
Mar 6 12:08:41 DNS-323 user.notice root: ffp stopped <- This doesn't look good. How can SNMP be running if ffp isnt running.

I ran chmod 777 ffp -R because I thought that maybe something wasn't executable. Now things work similarly, but I get this, although everything seems to function as before:
Mar 6 13:11:16 DNS-323 user.notice root: [truncated] Starting ffp: * /ffp/start/syslogd.sh ... WARNING: syslogd: Already running WARNING: klogd: Already running * /ffp/start/SERVERS.sh ... * /ffp/start/portmap.sh ... Starting /ffp/sbin/rpc.portmap * /ffp/start/unfsd.sh
Anyway, I went into telnet and tried to run "/ffp/start/snmpd.sh start" and got the error: "ffp/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf Required file not found or not readable."
Once again, I look inside ffp/etc and there is no snmpd.conf file.
Am I on the right track here thinking I need this service running to get windows to see my dns 323 on the network? Building my own snmpf.conf file doesn't sound like a lot of fun. Is there somewhere I can get an appropriate file?
