Is the DNS sitting on the same ip subnet? I.e same range of IPs? Or do you need to go through the router? If it is not on the same network it will NOT work.

I am a novice....I am not sure.

This is the status page from Web GUI.

THis is the Status from the router.....

And this is the devices attached to the router. Interestingly, the 323 does not show up.....

I understand that this should be simple....

Drew.

These are the IP's and the relevant devices.

MAC Address IP Address Host Name
00:11:50:1f:1b:8a 10.1.1.3 unknown (Mac)
00:90:4b:98:85:37 10.1.1.4 PC103103209124 (XP)
00:09:b0:00:8c:ff 10.1.1.2 unknown (Onkyo AV Receiver 905)
00:19:5b:ee:9d:f0 10.1.1.6 Dawson_HDD (DNS-323)

The wireless router is on 10.1.1.1 (D-Link DSL-G604T)

I have tried just about everything to get the EasySearch app to work....but the 323 does not show up.

actually my 323 is the same. i cannot see the iTunes server on the 323 from any itunes client i have on the network.

however, i have seen it once & thus only once on the network via iTunes client. unfortunately i do not know what it was that caused it to 'suddenly' appear out of nowhere. but even after i saw it, 5 minutes later it was gone.

it 'may' be the refresh time on the 323 (i have mine set to every 5 minutes) and have TON's of MP3's on it (yes, i did set the iTunes folder correctly within the 323)

i may increase the refresh time to see if that is of any use

i dont have any firewall's internally .. only externally. see if your 323 is doing something on the HD which is taking up its processing power (eg, see if the blue HD light is blinking on the 323

oh, and im on the 1.04 beta firmware (not the one just recently released)

Did you try the subnet change? I do however think this might be fw related. As you can not find the DNS with the EasySearch utility either.

ok, it seems that the earlier 1.04 beta firmware fixed up some iTunes issues of which i am on. i found that making the iTunes refresh to 5 minutes screwed me so i put it to 24 hours and now the server is working perfectly fine

so are you saying that there is a Twonky UPNP server for the 323? id rather use this instead of iTunes server

can you advise of the link if this is the case?

Well....SUCCESS....installed 1.04B55 Firmware and it works....Works a treat! This really annoys me as I have been in contact with D-Link support in Australia and they were about as much use to me as breasts on a bull!

Fickle...just go to Twonkyvision and you will find a demo.

Thanks for the help frodo. I will probably need some help in the future about a few other things like php, lighttpd, etc

You know that the latest version is B58?

Yes...but I didn't want to register at D-Link Germany (I don't speak German). If it is available on this forum I will download.

Unfortunately the itunes share is not showing up on my Mac. But at least it is working on XP. Something to solve there

Currently I have the DNS-323 (mt-daapd) running the itunes and Twonky for the media server (i can not get the itunes working off Twonky...). This seems to do the trick. I still believe there is something not quite the norm with my network somewhere.

Thanks

drew, wait about 1.5 days as i have, it will come back up (i think).. at least thats what happened to me ... i know, joke, but it worked in the end.. see other topic reply

looks like i will have to do an update to my router as well to test this (though i dont think its router as i am just using my router as a dummy switch)

stay tuned

maybe we just revert back to 1.03 firmware and not try firefly what so ever

well, upgraded my firmware for my router and still same issue

Drew, did you revert back to iTunes server and not firefly? or you still on firefly?

cheers

I'm still perseveringly with Firefly. Given that the DNS-323 comes with an early version of mt-daapd they are the same. Firefly version on this forum is a later version....I contacted Ron (author of mt-daapd/Firefly) he suggested a couple of things. This is what he suggested. It may work for you. It did not for me but I am going to try again:

That sounds like a multicast issue. If there aren't any knobs on the
router config pages to enable or tune IGMP or multicast, then the
other possible issue is that thedns-323 isn't seeing the multicast.
One trick that sometimes works on that is to move the nic into
promiscuous mode:

ifconfig eth0 promisc

from the dns-323.

Worth a shot, anyway. No firewall on that thing, is there?
