DNS-323 Network Storage

[alpc]

Does anyone tried using the USB printer port? Can I attach something other than printer to that usb port??? Am trying to see if I could use this port to sync my Centro to my PC which has vista 64bit - means cannot use usb on PC to sync!

apparently the failure is almost certain, it's just a matter of time.

so updating f/w might be a way to avoid bricking the HDD

of course, there is news that the f/w that seagate released earlier might not be the correct f/w

*sigh* can't believe this, DNS 323 is a great NAS system but marred by the HDD.

why would dns-323 be marred by the hdd in the first place

dns-323 functions the way it was designed.. if the harddisk manufacturer created a faulty harddisk, just change the harddisk and dns-323 will still function the way it should be

i'm using seagate 1.5TB with no problem

richneo your seagate also no problem right?

after reading all the horror stories about bricing the seagate harddisk, i better dun touch it since its performing perfectly

sorry, misscommunicated.
i was referring to my personal system. I like the NAS ssytem with DNS323, juz that my whole experience is marred by this HDD debacle..

yup. I agree with you, it's nothing to do with DNS-323

Happy 牛 Year. 恭喜发财 to all!

Since I am not suppose to go house visiting these few years. Spent the time compiling MLDonkey 2.9.7 and writing up a little Guide on optimizing MLDonkey on the NAS.

there's no hd in the dns-323 right? its just a standalone box when you purchase so you must purchase the hd separately right?

you need to have either 1 or 2 peices of sata ii 3.5" hdd inserted before it can function

just asking, can u install games into the hard disks if you are using dns-323? will it have any effect on the game-loading speed etc?

btw, anyone wants to let go of their DNS-323? feel like getting 1 to play with

anyone knows which file to edit for transmission such that when the download is completed, it will move the torrent and the file to a folder of my choice and also delete the resume file. Thanks

transmisison doesnt offer such a fuction on commandline. the only way to do that would be to use crontab and a script.

This has been working well for me thus far.

what would be the name of the file? <something>.crontab? and where should the file be saved at?
I'm assuming that your ,
default download folder is /mnt/HD_a2/torrents ,
and the torrent files are stored at /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission/torrents
and the resume file is at /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission/resume yes?

wonder if 2TB hdd is support using the latest firmware ver 1.06

 

[travirjir]

wah..u got 2tb hdd already?its not out in sg shores yet yes?

 

[WooHoo]

Hmm anyone here tried the new 1.06 firmware?

Have tried upgrade it but have some issue here.. Keep having this when i try to login

Access Error: Site or Page Not Found
when trying to obtain /web/login.asp?id=2428868

Cannot open URL

This only happen when the NAS running about 30mins..

Anyone here facing this problem too?

 

[mun_hoe]

i've no issues for the past 3 weeks on 1.06 firmware......

maybe the IP settings are back to default, why not try popping in the setup CD and detect the drive?

Hmm i can access my drive when first boot tho, just that after awhile i can't login anymore, the above error shown up..

Btw did you do any reset after the firmware upgrade? Theres no reset button for dns-323 right? i did a software reset using the web login tho.

Oh ya i still can access my network drive normally, just that i can't login to the web interface..

there IS a reset button at the back, just use a paperclip wire to poke and hold for 8 seconds and the power LED will flash to initiate bootup

if after reset still fail........i dunnoe liao
