    NAS problems finding folders

    Hi guys,
    Had a fair bit of trouble setting up my dns-323 but finally figured out all the IP related issues and have transferred all my data across onto the NAS. I have mapped the drives and can see all my files. I am able to move, and execute everything on the NAS (namely play movies music etc). However when i try to rename a file i get an error message saying
    " The Z: Folder does not exist it may have been moved or deleted...do you want to create it? yes/no" if i click yes the same message keeps re-popping up and if i click no i go back to where i started
    problem is the folder does exist as i am currently looking at files within it. I have checked all the read/write premissions and tried setting up an access group through the NAS all unsuccessfully which leads my to believe it is a problem on the end of vistas networking.....any ideas please??

    Sounds like a bug in the NAS's implementation of SMB. It's probably not a Windows machine, in the sense that it's not running a "real" Windows kernel and SMB server, so it'll be a Samba implementation or some other 3rd-party SMB command processor.

    I'd suggest trying to update the NAS firmware.

    hi sorry i forgot to update. I found an thread regarding this error on mapped drives. Was a problem which required a regstry edit to properly direct the files. I cant find the link to it, but was direct download that editted my registry and no longer have problems

    If you do end up finding a reference to what you did, I'd be quite interested. I'm still guessing that the registry modification is making the SMB redirector compensate for some sort of problem on the NAS, simply because you don't have to go through such modifications to make Windows<->Windows "properly direct the files".
