[TopCat_52]

anybody can help?

 

[dreamer_toons]

Thanks for the reply.

My setup is as follows: connect the 323 to the laptop via the WRT54G with ethernet cable. The 323 is not detected and the power button is flashing blue all the way, at times both the hdd and activity lights will be on.

I tried to reset but it still cannot be detected except there was once when it was detected. However, I cannot surf my net. After the formatting of the hdd during the configuration, the 323 restarted and the problem resumed again.

Till now, it is still un-detectable. I tried connect the 323 direct to my laptop; still the same.

Appreciates your advice.

Read the manual Pg8.
Just launch Easy search utility and click the language icon.
Select "Simplifed Chinese" there DONE.

If not see manual in the CD provided also have instructions. Nothing to do with the firmware.

OK ur router is it set to give DHCP? DId u disable ur Firewall?
Normally before NAS ur laptop is connected to router via LAN?

Lanuch IE and type in the default IP with it connected directly to ur laptop can get?

Also install by plugging into DNS first then to router. You may also power off everything from modem to router then u plug in.
On the modem, when it comes online power up the router, Then power up the DNS.

I need help:

I'm trying to telnet into the dlink dns323 (ip: 192.168.1.103) after i'd type in telnet (IP) it showed:

220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [TLS] ----------
220-You are user number 1 of 5 allowed.
220-Local time is now 19:15. Server port: 23.
220 You will be disconnected after 2 minutes of inactivity.
login
500 ?

500 ?
login
530 You aren't logged in


but there's no login for me to type in my login name (user name which i'd set for the dns323) and password ?

thanks in advance

Found out the problem... my ftp port was set to 23, which was the default port for telnet... setting my ftp port for another solved the problem.

Ok, talked to the dlink tech staff about my problem.

Seem that the device is a faulty one as the blue light on the power button is blinking non-stop and restarting on its own, suggest me to rma...

Can I connect the 323 direct to the pc via the ethernet instead of going into the router?

See Pg7 of the manual...can connect to PC direct with normal CAT5 LAN cable. Router & special cable is not required.

So my power safe issue u ppl experience it too? When power save the power button is faint blue when on is bright blue. However the temp is 41 degrees leh.

 

[dreamer_toons]

The tech staff told me cannot connect to the pc direct and must connect to a router; despite I told him the manual said otherwise!! Anyway, will rma at dlink service centre tml..

Thank everyone for your advice.

I can get around 50kB/S with Bitcomet on my PC.
The same torrent file in Clutch only arounfd 10kB/S plus..
Some other can get around 20 to 30kB/s in Bitcomet but in Clutch, less then 10kB/s.
In another words.. Bitcomet total dl is around 100kB/s plus but the same amount of files
in Clutch total dl is less then 50kB/s.
Seem that using PC with Bitcomet will dl complete in lesser days compare to DNS-323.
Anyway to make Clutch dl faster?

might be software limitation. i believe transmission doesnt have DHT. btw did you set encryption?

No encryption.
I also realize that Bitcomet upload max at around 5kB/s to 10kB/s even no cap.
Clutch upload can go up to max around 40kB/s if no cap.
Think using Bitcomet will get files more easy & faster..

Btw, if will to cap Clutch upload at 20 to 30kB/s, will it affect the download speed?

depending but limiting usually helps because of overheads. upload too much also bad for downstream.

try to enable encryption first then limit up to about 85% of upload speed.

Thanks bro Tuakong ! Really helpful...

However.. when trying it out.. i noticed i always got an error stating:

mnt/HD_a2/www/pages/clutch/remote/data/socket.txt

does not exist when executing the Echo command on step 15). I managed to get it work my adding a "/" at the begining of the target: i.e. /mnt/HD_a2/www/pages/clutch/remote/data/socket.txt

I still can't get it working though... I am able to open up a browser and go into clutch, but when I try pasting an url to download a torrent file in the "open" diaglog... it doesn't seem to do anything?

Could you help ? Does that mean transmission not working ?

Try dl the torrent and upload from there.
I also got some torrents that I click 'upload' and nothing happen.
Other torrent work ok.
Don't know why..
