1. USB HDD;
I have formatted a USB HDD as FAT32,
According to the manual;
The attached device will be located at \\192.168.1.100\usbhdd\usb1\1\ where 192.168.1.100 means the IP address of N299, usb1 stands for the first USB device, and 1 stands for the first partition
That location cannot be found, the USB HDD is recognised as one USB HDD under NAS log in admin storage. The USB HDD is connected to the front panel USB port (the rear is occupied by my printer and the second rear USB port is still not usable)
How do I access the USB HDD (200GB Maxstor ) files?
Is the manual incorrect? (Its has been in some instances) Is there any other way to see the files on the USB HDD?
2. Rear second USB2;
Has anyone been able to use both?
Can they be used by other USB items like say a Digital camera (I know, I can download using the front USB2 port).
Can one connect a hub and use various devises via the N299?
I would like to attach my MP3 player (Nomad Zen) and use one of the PC's to access and manipulate the files direct on the NAS (2 x HDD's) for example.
Appear to me that there ought to be no real reason why one cannot use both ports at the back simultaneously.
3. Changelogs;
On the Thecus WIKI I found the 1.00.29 Beta1 firmware.
This works well. Where can I find changelogs and/or discussions regarding firmwares for the N299?
4. Network Printer;
I have installed an Epson Stylus Photo R 310 as a network printer.
It works fine when printing a test page and in general except on occasions it fails completely.
Installation worked well and had no hiccups.
Once when printing a PDF file and once when printing 4 photos to one sheet.
Are there spooling memory restrictions in the N299?
5. DDNS and ACL;
I have DDNS set OK. When I set ACL on the files I loose my mapped network drives and the only way then to manipulate my NAS located files (it has 2 x HDD's) is to go via a user account each time. How can I set up so I can have mapped drives as well as restrictions to certain users via DDNS?
I have tried all configurations and I cannot work out how, if it indeed is possible.
All 5 questions have been posted on the "Techus User Group" but there no-one seems to know the answers to the above questions I have.
I would appreciate to be enlightened on the above subjects please.
Cheers,
Tom
