I just bought DNS-323 from PC Show. Installed and configured on factory version 1.03 and then performed firmware upgrade to ver 1.05. After reboot, I am not able to login using the password that I configured for "admin" before the upgrade.

Need help.

It might have reset back to the original default password.

you could do it manually via ip too. just map network drive.

Need to do any port forwarding after the Telnet thing?

ANyway to transfer file to DBNS-323 faster?
Trying to transfer around 80GB but it show 200 over minutes..

 

[Bieffe]

Telnet no need forward but BT u need to.

By the way I have enable the "power save" mode. But after u all enable that do u all still see the network and activity light on?

Quick check after 1hr the temp is still 41 deg C

Hi All, I just bought a DNS 323 from the latest PC Show. Setup as RAID 1 and 2 500Gb Seagate Disks inside.

I am also using it to download bittorrent.

I have a question, today when I tried to move my completed downloaded from the BT folder to another folder inside the DNS 323, the transfer speed was EXTREMELY slow, just a 10 MB file could NOT be completed within 30 min.

This is transfering of data within a single HDD inside the DNS 323.

Has anyone seen this issue and have the solution? Thank you in advance.

 

[richneo]

just to do a check if any of u guys put 2x samsung 1tb spinpoint f1 in their dlink? got any problems?

i only used 1 1TB samsung F1

so far so good around 60% full

 

[richneo]

yup after turn off and on back to default setting *bugs
323 BT download is super slow less the 10kbps
i don't think is ISP blocking should be the 323 BT setting but only few setting to play around nothing much we can do to push BT download speed
maybe can try enable DMZ see how it goes
tested on XXX file on 323 less then 10Kbps
BT on the same file use on pc easy hit over 200kbps

the default setting is 6881

ISP might not be blocking but it might be severely throttled

try google port 6881 to 6889 for more info becos this port is the most common default port for BT

how were you transfering. gay as this might sound but if you want to transfer between folders on the nas might be a good idea to telnet in to do it.

 

[zhix]

I just drag the folder using windows explorer, you mean that will make a difference?

Isn't that very troublesome to use telnet to move folders? Then I will not be able to move those unicode folder isn't it?

I am not sure if this is one of the possible root cause, I just upgraded to the new 1.05 firmware and did not format the HDD after the firmware upgrade.

It seems like the OS copied the files to your PC then pasted it back to the NAS thus incurring the cost of transfering stuffs over network.

Do that Lss suggest. Telnet in and do a mv instead.
