does if have specific os for its usage? as i am using a mac and i wan to back up on it.
please advise

 

[info_guy]

any advise on how i can set password prompt when accessing certain folder for this nas?

you can set users and password from the advanced tab -> network access

create a user and password for it, then give permission for it to read/write or both for certain folders you want to protect.

i could do this for all folders but not my BT folder as per below earlier question.

Thanks i've read the fonz fun plug at shadown andy website, will try it tmrw.

I have a question for the network access. I've managed to set users and passwords to access certain folders.

But i just can't seem to block access to my BT folder as there is no option to delete the default settings which is open to all users.

hi everyone,wanna find out the bros here anyone of you own this and a ps3, and the success rate of the two working together well.Been reading from other site and forum , the result was mixed, some mention can only work with twonkymedia server which is a commercial product and cost money, other claim new firmware of both the product did the job, some completely undetected by ps3. As my main reason of getting this is for streaming from movies etc from this nas to ps3.

Saw in Sl another nas by planex ( PCI MZK-NAS02SG)

http://www.planex.com.sg/product/nas/mzk-nas02sg.htm

this one have a pre built-in DLNA which ps3 required. and at least the product cliam that it is compatible with ps3 ( but to what extent, i dont know). and is $259 compare to dlink $199.

Hoping to get some answers from the bros here cos getting either one soon.

Finally i took the bet n get myself dns323 to test on my ps3, after letting go planex which didnt work well with ps3. Surprisingly dlink though unofficially as of now, support ps3 pretty well, i have so far no problem streaming movies, pic and music.

I have a question , i hv my nas on 24/7, and i hv notice that the networking led keeps on blinking non stop, even when there is no activities ( both hdd led solid blue), is that normal?

running 1 x 1TB seagate * 1 x 320GB seagate hdds, non raid. Firmware 1.05.

Shucks!.... no fix for slow BT downloads with in-built bittorrent client

BT download is dependent on the seeders. I can download stuffs at 360+ kB at times for popular trailers.

no such problem for me though

maybe you'd want to add the user into a group and assign again. although it's the same thing, maybe it gives a diff result. no harm trying i guess

Thanks i've already assign this user as a different group but this problem still persist? strange and by smb.conf on the nas was revert back to original as "shared"; rather than "user"

I understand that.

I have done proper port forwarding,
yet, DNS-323 is cap at 40kb but my utorrent is coming down at 300+kb
on the same torrents. So the problem is nothing to do with the seeds.

 

[archish]

is there any limit for number of active torrents with the inbuilt BT client?

utorrent has DHT and other stuff. There is only so much a NAS can do compared to desktop. Your desktop is likely to have greater computing power/greater ram compared to it.

What I can advise is allocation of resources. If you are getting something well seeded and enjoys fast speeds, do it with utorrent while you turn on the PC.

If you are getting something pretty Big and not so well seeded, especially those 'slow-burn' torrents, then DNS-323 is a time/cost effective solution. My PC has a 650W PSU compared to the NAS/Router/Modem setup of 50W, which will use less electricity?

Use the right tool for the right job, you want speed, get a sportscar, you want power, get a truck. Don't tell me you used a ferrari as a towtruck? And you used a pickup to race in F1?

Somebody ought to ban okokart.

Just a quick question, I've had DNS323 running for several months now. Only has 1x500GB HDD installed at the moment. Planning to get a HDD (either 500GB or 1TB) next week to use in on the vacant slot. Just have to slot it in right? No other config required? No issue if I pair it with a 1TB HDD?

:Later,

no issue. you'll see 2 shares

 

[sigh]

So no one tried with 1.5TB yet? Firmware 1.06 is supposed to be out before year end,

 

[richneo]

Usa forum already got people used it in there nas.
