Title: Problem with login via LAN
Post by: sanssan on November 05, 2009, 01:05:42 AM
Hi All

Im having a problems when I try to connect to my NAS via LAN. when I put the address \\192.168.1.104 the popup window appears with User name and Password. But User name field is off. There is only a field for Password. I cannot open the root directory.

If anyone has the similar problem please make a comment.

thanx a lot

I just got mine delivered today. I set it all up and initially I had the same problem as you but it happened when I browsed to the device in windows explorer via Network->dlink->Volume-1 ... the name field was disabled.
When I run the address "\\192.168.1.32\" the user name field was enabled and it worked ok.

The only thing I did on the DLink was I set up a new user account & password and created network access entry for that user.
(I'm on Vista, not sure if that makes a difference)

What version of Windows?  You may run into problems with Home versions of Windows.

I tried on XP and 2003 server. Everywhere the same problem. There is no field for User name. Only field for password. Even if you write \\(IP)  or \\NAS.

Well, that's certainly not normal!  I have no idea what's going on there, I'd reset the DNS-323 to factory defaults and see if you can change the behavior.  What firmware is this running?

Are you able to access the config?

I have the EXACT same problem.  Im running WinXP Pro (NOT Home) w/ Firmware 1.07.  Anyone know if this is a Windows issue or DNS-323 defect?

Well, I have no problem logging into my DNS-323 or DNS-321 from a variety of Windows platforms, including XP-Pro, Vista-Ultimate, Vista-Home, and Windows 7 Ultimate.

Same with me. Firmware 1.07 and problem. I tried to reset but nothing changed.

I have to believe this is a Windows networking setting, hard to believe the DNS-323 would act differently for different people with the same firmware.  I presume you've tried resetting to factory defaults and reconfiguring the NAS?

Are you entering http://192.168.1.104 in your web browser?

I wonder whether this isn't a problem with your browser, rather than the DNS-323.

1) Are you using a reasonably standards-compliant browser? (IE, Firefox, ...)
2) Have you set restrictive policies for cookies, popups or scripts?
3) Do you have any plugins that might be interfering with display of a web page? With Firefox, you can start the browser in "safe mode," with all plugins disabled. If you are using FF, you might want to try that. (Not sure whether IE has a similar feature.)
4) Browser password cache?

Guys. I can enter in configuration mode via Internet Explorer. I have problems when I try to log in the NAS via LAN. (windows explorer)

Here's my login problem (I believe Sanssan is having the same problem):

In Windows Explorer address bar enter:  \\192.168.1.104\Volume_1\Share_Folder
a popup login window opens with following
Login:  \\DLINK\Guest  (this part is greyed out, and cannot be changed)
Password: blank (but whatever password I put in, it will not logon)

This has nothing to do with web browser... does DLINK assume default logon to be Guest?

Are you able to map the volume using the Easy Search Utility? What anti-virus software are you running?

Isn't this more the behavior of windows if you have turned on "Simple file sharing" in XP or turned off "password protected sharing" in Vista or Win7 ?

Can't check in the moment ...

hi
one fix is to have the same user name and password on PC and on NAS.

Yes It really helps.:)) I dont know why, but it helps. Thanx for good advice.

XP-Pro should have no problem saving the name/password of the NAS, I've done that for years with XP.  XP-Home is trickier to manage, it's not really designed to allow a lot of control of networking.

All my machines that access the DNS-323 and DNS-321 boxes here have different name/password than the NAS units, and I never get prompted for a password after storing them the first time.

Having the same password as the NAS is an issue - as the NAS doesn't support any decent characters.  Short of using 123456, you can't have a decent password.  It's rubbish, to put it mildly!
Title: Re: Problem with login via LAN
Post by: gunrunnerjohn on January 22, 2010, 03:49:22 PM
Funny, I have an alpha-numeric password for mine, so you can do a reasonably secure password.  Obviously, 123456 is NOT such a password.

I would guess that 58xp02dn8zqw would be a lot better.
Title: Re: Problem with login via LAN
Post by: SnapperNZ on January 22, 2010, 04:00:50 PM
Sure but I have a password I use for a particular purpose which contains @.

Not allowing such characters on the NAS is pretty lame, in my opinion.

It would be nice, but not a fatal flaw, at least to me. ;)
