Hi guys,

I have my DNS323 running for a few months now, i have fun_plug with telnet access, mldonkey, lighthttp etc. All was working fine, until yesterday...

Yesterday I kindly received an email from my DNS323 saying that one of my harddrives had failed... well, since i only have one i was concerned. So i connected via telnet today and had to find out that my drive seemed fine, however - I couldn't access the NAS as i normally could from OS X. So i went to the webpage and checked the settings and to my suprise all the device information was gone, so i tried to re-enter the info but without success.

Some weird (square) character was shown in the name section and both workgroup and description remained blank. So i had a look at the smb.conf file and saw that my three users i had set up were in there multiple times, and i also saw that there was no [global] section, so i added one

/etc/samba # cat smb.conf
[global]
client code page = 850
character set = 850
workgroup = HOME
netbios name = DNS323
server string = DNS-323

[ Volume_1 ]
comment = all
path = /mnt/HD_a4/
valid users = AjejeBraso
read only = no
guest ok = no

[ Recycl3r ]
comment = private
path = /mnt/HD_a4/
valid users = AjejeBraso
read only = no
guest ok = no

[ NAStorage ]
comment = network storage
path = /mnt/HD_a4/NAStorage
valid users = andy
read only = no
guest ok = no

And now i was able to set and change the hostname/workgroup and description of the DNS323. However, ... again ... the next problem came up: Still couldn't connect so i was looking at the Network Access section in the config web interface. As soon as i try to change anything in here the whole web interface becomes unresponsive and i can't connect via http to the config interface anymore. After a minute or so the web interface is back (the box does not restart in the meantime)

Does anybody have a clue what could be wrong with my box? I think the harddrive is fine, i guess however that my samba config might be screwed up. could somebody post his config so that i can figure out what is different or is there a way of completely re-setting the samba on the DNS-323.
Well at least i guess its the samba, or could it be something else?

Thanks for helping out!

Andy

Hi Andy

I noticed that when DNS-323 notices another device in the network having its device name, it resets its device name and other things, and starts behaving strangely. This may be what you are seeing too?

Kind regards,

Jaya

Thanks mig,

that actually solved my problem. It seems that for some reason my smb.conf file did get completely screwed up and some sections were missing. After copying your file, editing it and restarting the samba server i could connect just fine to my box!

@jayas: I only have one device and there was only my mac and the dns323 on the net at that time, i reckon somehow mlnet messed my box up and screwed with my samba config file... but not sure what exactly happend, i tend to get errors when i have mlnet running, so i guess i will switch it off from now on!

brilliant, thanks again!
