How can I reset it to Factory Defaults?

Hold the reset button found at the back of the DNS-323 for about 30 sec....
It should reset everything back to defaut....
Then EasySearch should be able to find it

Hi there,

I manage to change the IP in the DNS to 192.168.1.2 as mentioned. I try Mapping on my Win 7 but Im unable to map using this IP \\192.168.1.2\Volume_1.

I get a error code 0x80070035
The Network Path no found?

How can i fix this issue? Thanks ;)

k, now did you also change the gateway and at least 1 DNS?
in you case it should be 192.168.1.1 for both - the same IP has your 2nd NIC

set it, then from a Command prompt... try to ping 192.168.1.2
it should work

Gateway & DNS server entries aren't required - and even if they were, setting them to point to the NIC in the PC wouldn't do him any good, unless the PC was configured to provide the required services.

Do I need to set the Gateway and DNS.. If so what should i set the DNS to? Im not connected to a router so do i really need a DNS.

I tried setting the Gateway and DNS to 192.168.1.1 but still i cant map getting same error.. Im able to Ping and able to receive a response.

Am i missing out on something?

Since you seem determined to take the difficult route, and you seem not to accept my earlier statement that they are not required, let me at least point you in the right direction.

The gateway entry is used to tell a network host where to send all traffic for any destination NOT on the same network - since your DNS-323 is on a "mini-network" with only two hosts, and you have no intention of sharing it with a third host that is not on that network, a gateway entry may not be required.

DNS server entries are used to tell a network host where to send DNS queries in the event that it needs to reach a host using a URL rather than an ip address - since your DNS-323 is on a "mini-network" and you have no intention of sharing it with a third host that is not on that network, a DNS server entry may not be required.

Please note - the use of the word "may" - whilst the DNS-323 will work fine as a NAS without those entries, certain "non-essential" but nice to have features, such as email alerts and ntp won't work without them - however - as my earlier post indicates, even if you add the entries, they will do you no good unless the PC is capable of providing the necessary routing and/or DNS services.

Now - since you didn't believe me the first two times around - I see no reason why you should take my word this time so ....

GOOGLE is your friend.

You can use it to find out for yourself what the gateway & DNS entries are used for.
You can also use it to find who makes dual disk USB-SATA enclosures that support RAID.

By the way - the DNS-323 CAN be used as you are attempting to use yours - it's just so much easier to use it as it was designed.

Hold the reset button on the back for 10 seconds or more with power on.  The data is unaffected, but all the configuration will be reset to defaults.

Hi there,

not sure if you came right, I have a similar issue with my vista installation.

my motherboard nic stopped working, so i inserted a realtec nic.

the computer can do anything except access multiple files on the dns 323, it times out.

any ideas on a solution here?

Disable the integrated NIC in the CMOS setup and be sure to use the drivers that came with the NIC, I have experienced miserable throughput on Realtek based NICs when using Windows native drivers.

thanks, i have thrown the realtek card away and purchased a 3com card.

this seems to have sorted all the issues out.
