DNS-313 and Win 7 Network
« on: April 09, 2012, 01:54:30 AM »

I'm having the strangest problem with my DNS-313 - it's been working perfectly for ages, but last week I wanted to transfer a lot of data onto it, and it was quicker to do it via the USB connection, so I disconnected it from the network and transferred the data that way. But now I can't get it working on the network anymore. I can ping it successfully, it's got an IP address, but it doesn't come up in the Windows network, or the easy search utility. I can't even get to it via the Web interface. With one exception: when I reset it, it seems to work fine  - it shows up in the easy search utility, the web interface, and even in the windows network, but then it disappears after about 5-10 minutes. I suspect it's something to do with the router, but can't figure out what.
Any help would be very much appreciated!

Master browser issue?

See if that is relevant to you.

Thanks, but it doesn't seem to be at first glance...if I re-set it, I can get to it for about 3 minutes, both through Windows and the web interface. But then suddenly I can't, and Windows diagnostics says:

"The remote device or resource won't accept the connection Detected 
The device or resource (DLINK-84D641) is not set up to accept connections on port "The File and printer sharing (SMB)".

I then also can't get to it via the browser interface. But I can still ping its IP.....

Still at a loss....

Can you access the Volume by using the IP instead of it's name (ie: DLINK-84D641).  Did you set up the NAS to have a static IP or does it get its IP from your router?

No, no difference....in the circa 3 minutes I can get to it via the browser after I've reset it, I've tried both a static IP address and DHCP, no difference. During those 3 minutes I can get to it either using the name or the IP, but then neither works. So the problem is, what happens 3 minutes after the reset..?

[I find the IP with Network Magic, which shows it as online...But, the Netgear router doesn't show it up as having a DHCP lease, which suggests it could be the router bumping it off for some reason]

You could test your last suggestion by connecting your computer directly to the NAS by cable.  For this to work the NAS will need to have a static IP.

If it continues working in that configuration then there is a problem with your router.  If it doesn't then the NAS itself or the computer are suspect.

If the router is the problem then I would advise getting a switch to replace it or if is the unit that supplies DHCP for your network then just hang it off the switch as well.

We have a setup with a 48 port switch in the server rack and a couple of 8 port switches on different floors.  Each of those switches has a wireless router attached as well as various computers and other equipment.  DHCP is supplied by the main server with backup from the ADSL router.

Ok, tried that ...same problem - appears in easy search briefly, but then disappears after a few minutes - so it doesn't seem to be the router (this feels like an episode of House!)...But then I can't think what it could be about the DNS-313...?

Also, I should mention that there's also a DNS-320 connected to the router which works perfectly...
