- Smart NDAS drive and wireless router
- Posted by JR on February 8th, 2005
I have a SmartDisk END 160 Ethernet hard drive and the PC's
connected via Ethernet cable see the drive fine.
The problem is that my wireless connected
PC's can't see the drive to install it.
I disabled Zonealarm and my anti-virus to do the install as per the
instructions, but can't seem to make it work.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Not a great advertisement for your business, is it?

Well Gee Mike, I was asking for a bit of advice on a piece of equipment
I have never used before, not some trite asinine comment.
But since you brought it up, I looked at the content of your help site and
all I see are links to someone else's work, including the copy/paste job
from the manual for the software you are shilling.
Did you look at my site, Sir?
I wrote All of that content, and I didn't put it up on a free Geocities
page.
Nuff said.

Added to which your sig seperator is in the wrong place.
Not looking at the page in a browser, it's a horrible bit of HTML with
all sorts of nasty bits. That's before sending it to the w3 validator,
Errors: 38
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=www.acon-pchelp.com
Neat trick using style and <body to set the same background image.
Argh font sizes "+2" yuck.
For no good reason , <p> </p> , quite a few of those.
Several missing "
Pointless scripts.
Horrible sized fonts, colors , background, center justified text.
A tall page, lots of text not saying much, simple security precaution of
stopping scripting blocks the entire menu bar, even then the images/text
on the buttons is so bad it's hard to read.
Fairly unique design decision, large daft colored text and tiny badly
colored fuzzy text buttons.
A very distracting and grim text effect with "easier to use," moving as
the as the buttons are hovered over, causes the text to move.
The page is still trying to load after several minutes, so something
else wrong as well.
Pretty poor overall.

Perhaps, but can you help with the NDAS problem?
The site loads in 4 seconds here.
I didn't build the site.
Find a problem with the content too?
I did disable the forum.
If you want to be a typical tight-assed jerk,
do it quietly and to yourself. Others will
thank you.

Well, I guess it's tough that you don't get to choose the
answers that you want/get, isn't it.
My comment was neither trite nor asinine. It was actually
meant in good faith, to try to help you not to associate
your business with such obvious lack of skill and/or experience.
Really? Then you must have been looking through coloured
glasses -- of course you were. FYI, the whole purpose of that
page was/is to negate me having to repeat advice for often
asked questions about cleaning up. Nothing more, nothing
less. The content (excluding the few links) is all mine.
It wasn't a copy/paste. It is a record of a PCMag page that
is no longer freely available -- full credit is given on the page.
Shilling? What does that mean? If you are inferring that
I am (in any way) pushing ANY of the software linked to
on that page, then you are an ass. The software is ALL
freeware, and is recommended as an aid to the information
on that page.
I looked at the front page, a couple of other pages and
saw enough to prevent me from looking at any more.
I wrote all of the content of my maintenance page.
So what's your point?
I did. So what's your point?
I somehow doubt that.

Hey, moron, you don't get to dictate who posts
what, where, when, why, etc. You don't get to
speak for others, either.

No perhaps about it, the rubbish page is there for all to see.
Consider if you could with the lack on information you provided?
Drive named, but no model number.
What you tried? - It doesn't work, is no help.
What device connects the wireless clients (some wireless router) to the
drive.
Static/DHCP addressing?
Hardwired PCs can/can't see the wireless clients?
Wireless clients can/can't see each other?
You have 2 networks?
It does, but something is still trying to continue loading, Win 2000
Outpost 2.5 FW , Mozilla 1.7.3 , scripting blocked.
Lucky you.
It wasn't worth reading.
The rest of the site when?

OK, let try again.
I have a D-Link Dl -714p+ Router/Wireless Accesspoint/Print Server.
I have two PC's and one RePlay TV device connected via Ethernet cable.
I have two additional PC's and an HP laptop connected via wireless.
The NDSA netdisk END160 is connected to the router via Ethernet.
All of the machines can see each other and exchange files with each
other including the RePlay device.
The two Ethernet connected PC's can see the NDAS drive as a local drive.
None of the Wireless connected machines can see the NDAS drive.
I temporarily disabled the firewall and Anti-virus as per the setup guide.
I asked for help in this group hoping that someone had had a similar problem
and had found a solution.
Regards,
JR

www.google.com Web
Your search - NDSA netdisk END160 - did not match any documents.
NDAS netdisk END160.
As it says it doesn't require an IP address, what is it doing to
connect? You could try a packet sniffer on one of the wireless boxes.
It may let you see what the device manager is trying to send out.
The usual, no stop / yellow icons for the device drivers.
That's the router firewall you disabled, not just something on the PCs?
Can you see it as a normal share off a pc rather than directly.
It's not a router compatability issue , wireless side? Try a different
make of router. Update wireless client drivers / firmware?

Thanks, I updated the firmware on the Dl-714P+ this morning.
All is well.
Thanks for the reply.
Regards,
JR
It is NDAS END 160, sorry. Nice piece of hardware,
the drive shows up as a local drive on each PC.
www.smartdisk.com in case you or anyone else is interested.
I use the drive to store backups and the music for the auto DJ bot
for the Phoenix Radio Network. If the bot senses dead air it starts
broadcasting from it's server.
