Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

I cannot connect to my nas server with this PC, but i can with the other PC!

Any idea why anyone?

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

Are you trying with the ip address or some network name? It's possible a firewall is in the way.

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

More information about the setup might help.....

Are you going through a router? What operating systems are the two machines running? Have you checked/changed the cables? Does the NAS require a username/password, if so have you checked that you have them right? What have you tried so far? Are you getting any error messages?

Here is my network diagram:

I am using the desktop PC, my nas is not running a OS, My PC is XP, i can accesss the server on the other PC so its not cableing, the error message i get is This network path was not found, the connection cannot be restored!

Thats it!

Look, ill prove it works, Link

that is my Server, but i cant get into it with this PC!

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

try putting the NAS on the other side of that firewall (plug it into the wgr614)
see what happens

ps. when i was 13 girls were far more important than NAS connection issues ;)

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

Yeah I would concur, the NAS is the wrong side of the Firewall

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

I don't see the need for the firewall anyway. I'd just put the modem into the router and connect the NAS to the router like everything else.

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

indeed u have 3 hardware firewalls floating around thats overkill

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

I think ATMT NAS devices have the ability to be accessed over the net, so it might be on the correct side - if it can and he's accessing that way...

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

Is the PC you can access it in the DMZ zone of the 614?

Nice, you got banned from Digital Spy, good work lol.

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

...Yes and so can we. I think you may want to put some security on that.

I got access to your Green Day MP3 libary, your Habbo source files and everything on your NAS...

Digital Spy - oh yeah! LOL!

Now - where would a 13 year old keep his porn...

Perhaps you have a little way to go before you're a fully fledged IT Engineer! :monkey:

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

LoL Callumpy's PC is made by Medion :p:

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

u got to wonder how with 2 firewalls in the way u can get at his green day collection (downloaded from demonid)
i assume ur on a nice dsl line as the speed is nice !
put a username and password on the ftp fella.

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

Impressive.. I never realised the Mods did anything over there. Callumpy must have wound someone up massively.

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

The words "Head, Wall, Banging, Brick" all spring to mind!

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

Nice collection of cars! :)

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

Three firewalls, yet he doesn't put a password/user id on his NAS..

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

I would of thought putting pictures of yourself on there isn't a good idea either. :p:

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

You can't see him though, there's a mop of hair in the way :)

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

Thanks everyone for looking at the stuff on my NAS server, lol.

Anyway, if i move the NAS on to the other side of the firewall i wont be able to access it ovet the internet. Also the firewall isnt over kill the the firewall in the DSL-G6142 and WGR614 are turned off!

And i dont have a mop on my haed :)

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

I thought that was for 48 hours. (And the mods do quite a bit over there. A lot of threads do get closed or end up "deleted" to the mods area.)

But then I suppose they have quite rigid T+Cs and users who break them will be banned.

LOL Joey Ramone lives :tu:

Presisley, my hair isnt long!

No, but Joey in that pic has a few years on you, so you have time to catch up :)

You've still not secured your NAS drive...

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

^^

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

Callumpy, if you are going to have your NAS accessible via the internet, I would recommend you secure it. You run the risk of someone discovering it, and using it as free storage.

This isn't too bad if what they store is legal, or just copyrighted, but what if it is something more serious, such as child porn? You can be held liable for anything stored on the drive.

If you are found with child porn on your drive, you run the risk of serious legal action.

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

Actually - I did try a write operation but I was denied access, but I'm sure somebody with some basic hacking skills would find a way to do it.

And then a well placed executable, and it would be goodbye data and LAN...

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

Thats not something i would admit to trying.

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

Why? All I did was a right-click, create folder to see what access privileges where given. Nothing else was done.

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

dont do it yet i havnt got all the greenday albums!

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

Ah ok, i read it as something different, i blame it on my migrane ;)

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

No worries - I blame my cold for making me right-click, create folder! :p:

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

It's still insecure - all the stuff on it is still downloadable (if you like that sort of music).....

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

FYI: I've PM'ed him...

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

That is what they are there for!

I want it unsecured so that it can be a Download service for www.stealyourglory.tk

and make sure you get the sevenfold albums :)

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

sadley this sort of thing isnt allowed so i suggest
A: you learn how to forward ports.
B: how to add user name/ passwords to your NAS
C: look at SSL as well.
D: Stop sharing music
E: Delete from my memory that very pink website you linked to :)

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

Let's hope the copyright police don't catch you.......;)

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

huh?

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

What you are doing is illegal and could land you in some trouble - you're not supposed to be sharing music online. I'd suggested removing it soon.

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

what's the FACT URL again?

Oh Yeah....I remember....

http://www.fact-uk.org.uk/

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

Alright, ill remove the stuff off the website, but is it illegall to share our own music?

and also if i just get rid of the music links but leave the music in my server, is that illegal?

Oh, and also. What about the main reason i posted this thread?

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

Do you have any software firewalls that may be blocking?

Have you tried a net use command?

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

no and no

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

Well try a net use command and see what you get then!!! :mad:

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

what do i write?

net use in cmd?

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

Not if you have permission from the copyright holder (as they're your friends, I don't think that's a problem!) :D

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

ohhhh, ive done net use and it says they are all unavaliable

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

What's unavailable? The shares you are trying to connect to??

Can you ping the IP and DNS name of the ATMT device

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

right, so that 'can not be restored' implys you had a LAN connection to it at one point and you shared that working connection to a drive letter....

im going to assume your IP for the NAS box has now changed and so the share isnt pointing to the right IP now, does that make sense to you?.

your NAS does infact have an OS on it ,just not windows, thats why you can access the NAS mini web server, its running on that OS.


the box specs say this:

so you can use both CIFS for LAN net browsing, and assigning that drive letter to the NAS's IP ,and you can use FTP access, as your doing, for the WAN side that everyones using to look at your files.

you can also use the FTP server on your LAN side, did you try it with both the WAN IP and the local LAN IP direct?.

if you look in the NAS's manual, it tells you how to setup these shares etc,so it might be a case of just re-mapping that old drive map name to the new IP its using, assuming it is that problem.

the way to find out, is to use the ping command to see if you can talk to the devices on your LAN at a vey basic level .

o rperhaps you can even just use browse the network without using the mapped ip/name and see the NAS that way, if so, then just deleate the old maped letter and reassign the new ip to another letter.

so do a basic check and ping each LAN IP of all your PCs and the NAS.

its good to use fixed IPs in all your devices, or at least write each divices/PCs IP down so you have a map to ping and check for changed IPs, with so many routers/firewalls on there its getting a little complicated for a noob network.

the PC that can see the NAS , can that PC also ping the PC than cant see the NAS?.

if not, then the PC you cant ping has perhaps got an IP range thats different to the rest.

i notice the NAS can give out IPs, so do you only have one bit of kit (one of the routers)giving out IPs from its DHCPD server or are all of them ?, that can lead to a big mess so its important to know for sure.

http://www.atmt.co.uk/manuals/NETWOR...r%20Manual.pdf

btw,you can set a password for any of the NAS directorys you create, so i sugest you make a new passworded dir, and move any copyright files into that, so your not publicly sharing them, and you then need to give people the password access (if they have the right to use them)before they can get them from the public webside IP/FTP.

its perfectly fine and legal to share any non copyrighted files (freeware licenced)be they sound ,video or what ever(your friends/people make them and give them a freeware licence in the readme, or give you permission to share etc) and they can be in your non password protected dirs.

your key tool for solving this connection problem on the LAN side is the ping command, do you know how to use that yet?.

click start/run and type cmd in that cli box , inside that cmd shell/cli you can then use any shell command such as ping etc.

the default IP for the NAS in the manual says 169.254.0.1 and is an MS oddball IP , its unlikely your PCs and routers/firewall are using that 169.* range but im assuming now, one of your router DHCP IP servers are giving out a true 192.* IP range to all your kit.

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

right... its working now, whats happened was i turned my firewall progrmme off which activated Windows firewall and for some reason activated the IEE 802.11b adapter thingy, so i turned windows firewall off and deleted Zone Alarm and it worked then!

ive also got rid of my DCHP now and made everything static!

Thanks everyone for posting!

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

Well done for fixing it. Just a little perseverance and some know-how gets you a long way. :tu:

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

He didn't fix it! He just did what someone else told him to do! ;)

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

Well - yeah - but ultimately he was the one at the keyboard and sorting it!

Re: Cant Connect To NAS server, need help!
 

i think thats a little unfair nffc, he did do the work after we gave him the potential answers, and he's learning fast being 13 and into the tech.

hes still got to work out what that 'IEE 802.11b adapter thingy' is....

its a wireless 11b ethernet card, thats 11Mbit max speed btw.
