Title: How does one install a DNS-323 in Windows 7 ????
Post by: stevela48 on July 17, 2009, 12:24:55 PM: It is listed as a network storage device but the volume is not; therefore not is accessible.

Thanks in advance for the assistance..

\\192.168.0.20\Volume_1 (or whatever you set the IP to)

Username: \user
Password: whatever you set it to.

The \ is important with the user name.

If you right click and update driver you can browse to wherever you downloaded the driver files to. And Bob's yer uncle.

it seems that win-7 and zone-alarm does not give you any sort of warning when the ez-setup program runs. it just sits there for a minute and does nothing.

LLTD (Link Layer Topology Discovery) is not required to map or use a DNS-323 in Windows 7 - all LLTD will do for you is allow Windows 7 network map to draw a pretty picture, but you can map a drive and read/write data without it.

Same goes for the Windows 7 drivers for the DNS-323 - it'll give you a nice picture in devices & printers - but they're not required to actually use the NAS.

Post by: gunrunnerjohn on March 02, 2010, 12:46:35 PM: I've never loaded any drivers to access the DNS-323 or DNS-321 from any version of Windows. LLTD is Vista/Win7 eye-candy, nothing to do with actual network access.
