DNS-323 Network Storage

[MarineX]

hmm wat you mean? my AIO printer is usb de.. no ethernet...

1st. You did not elaborate more on your USB Printer model.

2nd. If you are asking, my AIO is wireless enabled. Thus i'm able to SCAN, PRINT, FAX & COPY across without having the need to attached any thing.

3rd. I've made myself pretty clear i guess? It depends on your AIO printer... Printers like Canon AIO USB printer(Can't remember the model) - it does not SUPPORT scanning if you are doing it across network. The only way to get the printer to scan is to attached the USB cable directly into the computer.

It is the printer software/drivers issue, if you ask me. - try contacting your printer manufacturer and clarify your doubts if the printer is able to do the job that you desired

oooo okok

my printer is the canon MF4320D. i hooked up the printer to my DNS 323. i can send prints over the network but unable to scan. so just wondering if there is any way i can scan via the NAS thru my laptop.

if there is a will, there is a way. At most pay forumers to help you set up. I think most managed to set it up themselves.

You're right. Took me a day to learn & understand, to setup all the virtual hosts.

Now here is 1 more question that would apprecaite your response. How do update all the hosts in dyndns.org when the DDNS feature in the DNS-323 only support updating of 1 host? Or is there a client that can run on the DNS-323? If yes, any sites to show how?

to better understanding of your query, erm... means your router have got 1 dyndns and your DNS have got another one?

I've 5 hosts under 1 dydns account. Yes, router and DNS-323 both have DDNS feature (each support 1 host only). Using 2 DDNS to update same account can get blocked by dyndns.

Currently I used a update client on a XP system which is being replaced by the DNS-323. So was wondering if any client that can run on the DNS-323, or an script that will work?

Hi guys, I need some advice here... I've inserted a hdd into the LHS (left hand side) of 323 and already using it with ffp installed.

After reading thru forums, I understand that the RHS (right hand side) of the 323 is drive 0 and the LHS is drive 1. I'm planning to purchase another hdd to fill up the other slot. Will there be any implication(s) if I insert it into the right bay?

sorry cldnt help as i doesnt fully understand the entire scenario...

if router have got one, shouldnt your DNS-323 should not have any?

it doesnt matter... you can always switch it here and there - it will still perform as usual

Congrats on setting up your DNS-323! Hope you picked up some linux skills along the way.

I am using a script to update my dyndns host. I am not using the client that comes with the DNS-323. The script currently caters to updating of 1 host but you can make it update several (duplicating the scripts few times and editing the individual scripts).

I would need to search around when I get back home. For the time being, perhaps you can look up on crontab and how to use vi as you need some knowledge on these 2 to achieve what you are trying to do.

But I've seen users with both their hdd formatted after they inserted another one. Should I remove the current one first, insert the new hdd, format it and re-insert the old hdd?

Thanks in advance.

A sample script will be helpful instead of starting from scratch.

Sorry, 1 more question. Noticed url (for subdirectories and files) are case sensitive for lighttpd. Not so with apache. Is this normal?

Examples, the difference is the upper/lower case for the jpg file name.

This works http://krazyman.homeip.net:88/webpic/Bobby02.JPG

This won't work http://krazyman.homeip.net:88/webpic/bobby02.JPG

I have installed funplug, php, lighttpd, clutch and transmission, how do I uninstall each of them individually or I can only format them to remove them? By the way, which is a better torrent software, the installed Dlink one or MLDonkey? How do I speed up the connection in 323?

I did port forwarding on my router for the torrent port to forward to my dlink 323 ip address, is this correct?

How do I do streaming?

 

[armaniexchange]

Im using firmware 1.06, and when my set powers down when 5mins, not long later it will be up again. I have not access it at all.
i have also disable itunes server, printer and such.

most linux/unix applications are case sensitive so it is pretty normal.

for the dyndns update, check out this thread. Download the ez-update script and set it up. You need to tweak the script to update multiple addresses.

hello, wonder if u noe how to scan in the AIO printer thru NAS using a computer ? is there any script i need to use ?

Thanks once again for your reply.

While searching the web yesterday, I did came across this thread. First read seem daunting for a linux noob. Will have to slowly understand and digest it first.

Well, no pain no gain. I actually picked up linux while toying with openwrt during wrt54g era. So I think this is a good way to learn linux. Kinda like on the job training. Haha. Any questions you can probably post here, there are quite a few experts on the DNS-313/323/343 locally.

 

[redline15]

hi all,

i just got the NAS during the IT show and i installed 2 x 500G HDD. i power on and both the hdd leds keeps flashing. i'm unable to see the 2 volumes using the CD and it doesn't prompt me to format it. yet i'm able to access the GUI to confiure password etc.

any idea what may be the problem?

tks

strange but after upgrading the firmware to 1.06, it is ok now.

Thanks for all the helps rendered so far but hope you can assist further.

Did the following but not working:

Installation problems of ezipupdate (a ddns client) on Dlink DNS-323

1. Downloaded this ezipupdate-0.6-ffp0.5.tgz from http://forum.dsmg600.info/viewtopic.php?id=2274&p=1.
2. Copy it to volume_1.
3. Unpack it with this command: #funpkg -i ezipupdate-0.6-ffp0.5.tgz
4. After unpacking, delete ezipupdate-0.6-ffp0.5.tgz from volume_1.
5. As not familiar with vi, use wordpad to edit the rest of the files mentioned below by copying them (thru PuTTY) first to the root directory, and then back to where they should be after editing.
6. 1st file edited as follow (will mention only those entries that have changes made) is /ffp/etc/examples/ezipupdate.conf and then copied to /ffp/etc
user=myusername:mypassword
host=mydomain1.homeip.net mydomain2.homeip.net mydomain3.dyndns.org mydomain4.dyndns.org mydomain5.dyndns.org
7. Disconnect my xp system that had been running the ddns client from my lan to prevent it from updating my dyndns account.
8. Clone the router mac address and reboot cable modem to get a new public IP.
9. Start ezipupdate with this command: /ffp/start/ezipupdate.sh start
10. Ping mydomains and only the domain1 get updated with starhub proxy IP. The other 4 domains still with the old public IP.
11. Edit /ffp/share/ezipupdate/ezipupdate.sh url for checking of IP address as follow:
ip_command="echo `wget http://checkip.dyndns.com:8245 -O $tmp_ip -q && cat $tmp_ip`"
12. Stop and start ezipupdate.
13. Ping my domains but IP remain under changed, ie domain1 is still the starhub proxy IP and the rest the old public IP.

PS - I use wordpad to edit lighttpd.conf and myvirtualhost.conf too and they worked.

I have upgraded to 1.06 too, and downloaded the latest easy search utility software but still unable to locate the DNS-323. After using the internet explorer to setup the DNS-323, I found that the Bitorrent is not installed.

I have to disable my AVG firewall then that I could find the DNS-323 using the easy search utility software and to setup the Bitorrent.

Need help... PHP mail() is not working

Help me.....

I just installed funplug 0.5, PHP and mysql. Tested lighttpd and it worked fine with PHP and mysql. But, mail() in PHP did not work.

Installed esmtp with esmtprc as configuration file, linked esmtp as sendmail. Used sendmail command to send email and it worked fine.

Configured php.ini with sendmail path = "/ffp/bin/esmtp -C /ffp/etc/esmtprc", restarted lighttpd. But mail() in PHP just declined to work.

Please help....

Any other way to make PHP mail() work instead of esmtp?

Thanks.
