Although the unit isn't accessed, it's possible the temperature is high enough to trigger the fan. Have you monitored the system and HDD temperatures to establish an estimated baseline?   

[Tikigod19]

no. I wouldnt know how to do such a thing..

I'll just turn it on and off when I need it. Just like a USB drive (but 3 times the price..)

[JavaLawyer]

Log into the web UI and navigate to: MANAGEMENT > System Info > Device Information > System Temperature

I'm not sure what the temperature thresholds are for turning the fan on/off for this ShareCenter. Perhaps other DNS-320L owners could weigh-in here.

[Tikigod19]

it says System Temperature 102°F/39°C currently..

hmm ok now ive changed broadband supplier and my NAS is no longer accessible. I assume the IP that was assigned is no longer valid. Does anyone know how I can make it accessible again? The box with the manual and disc in is in the loft but is there a way of doing it without going up there and getting it down??

[Tikigod19]

ok.. i now cant find the box or DVD and I'm desperate to back up some footage.. can anybody help?

[JavaLawyer]

The manual and software on the CD are available here: http://tsd.dlink.com.tw/.

Since you set the DNS-320L with a static IP address, log into the web UI using that address and change to DHCP and make sure you're not reserving an IP address on the router. Your router should assign an IP address within the valid range.

ive tried to access via the IP that I assigned previously and that has always worked but it doesnt work. Do you know what version of the software I'd need for windows 7?

Software:DNS-320L A1 Setup wizard v.1.0.0.0(DI)

Is that one ok?

[JavaLawyer]

When you changed your broadband provider, did they give you a router or did you make changes to your existing router? If your internal network topography hasn't changed, accessing the ShareCenter within your LAN should not be impacted.

You really should not need the software to access your ShareCenter.

When you log into your router UI, the ShareCenter should be listed under the networked device table. Do you see the device listed (either by name or MAC address)?

[Tikigod19]

ive just logged into the router and there are a couple of unknown devices listed so I typed in the IP of these. One is my printer and one cant be reached.

Yes I had a new router I've moved from sky to BT Infinity.

Really keen to get this sorted asap so would appreciate your help.

Is the DNS-320L set to DHCP or is it using a static IP address? If you reset the DNS-320L to the factory default settings, this will reset the network settings.

• While the DNS-320L is powered-up, press and hold the reset button on the rear of the unit for > 9 seconds
• For good measure, reboot the router when the DNS-320L reset completes

[Tikigod19]

ok will do. Obviously this wont erase any data?

ok will do. Obviously this wont erase any data?

Performing a factory reset will delete all your user settings, passwords, share settings, etc., but should not (by design) impact your HDD configuration or stored data. That said, I have to state the disclaimer that you should always make a full backup of your critical data prior to performing any major configuration to your ShareCenter.

[Tikigod19]

there's no reset button! I can't believe how hard this is! Every second I spend on this is another second I wish I'd have invested in a USB3 external drive that I can copy to at twice the speed and not have this issue every time my network configuration changes!

[Tikigod19]

ive managed to finally download the software from the link you provided (slowest download speed ever from that server) and it appears the ONLY way I can get the NAS to show up again is by formatting my drives. This means I've wasted the 9 hours it took to copy the data to the drive at a pathetic 40mb/sec (slower than usb3) and I'm going to have to do it all over again...
