NASLite Network Attached Storage

Hi again!
OK! I have looked at this for a while now but can't get anywhere....
I click on "Administrater NASLite-M2" and it doesn't go anywhere....?
I have TELNET actiivated in Windows 7 but it doesn't seem to help...?

I am trying to cut out the need for connecting to a monitor all the time and avoid using telnet in Windows...

Can someone tell me how to fix it so I can administrate NASLite-M2 from the web interface...

Thanks!

think i understand you - let me say what i think you mean - you want to look at the nas via a web browser rather than telnet - if thats it - simple - just go to the ip address you set the box up with - will show you all the drives and much more - browse and go through each menu

if you want to access the nas login in and utils via a dos box then save this as config.vbs and run it

change the ip addy and name and password if you have changed yours

code below





ServerName = "192.168.1.66"
Username = "admin" ' Current Username
Passwd = "nas" ' Current Password

XIT = "E" ' Used to "EXIT" from NAS. (upper-case E)
YES = "y" ' Used to confirm an option. (lower-case Y)
SHUT = "8" ' Used to SHUTDOWN NAS. (number eight)

DELAY = 250 ' Minimum 500ms recommended; 1000 works well.


' --------------------------------------------------------------------
' SECTION B: Start a Shell
' --------------------------------------------------------------------
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")


' --------------------------------------------------------------------
' SECTION C: Start the TELNET
' --------------------------------------------------------------------
WshShell.Run "telnet " + ServerName

' --------------------------------------------------------------------
' SECTION D: Login. ("Sleep" pauses are needed delays.)
' --------------------------------------------------------------------
WScript.Sleep DELAY
WshShell.SendKeys Username + vbLf
WScript.Sleep DELAY
WshShell.SendKeys Passwd + vbLf

WScript.Quit

Hi tony a
OK! I can get to almost everything via web browser using my ip address....
When you go down the menu there is the "administrater" which seems to use Telnet via the web interface, but when I click on it it comes to a "couldn't show" page....

If I try again it goes no where and it says "ieframe.dl" and just goes no where?

Does this make sense?

Hi again!
BTW if I copy the link it gives "telnet://192.168.1.***/" I thought that with Telnet on Windows 7 you need to write open and then the IP address for Telnet to work?

bookie56

not sure what happening with you - this is what i get - have you enables telnet - by default it is off in windows 7 - control panel - programs and features - add microsoft stuff - make sure telnet client is ticked

i bypass the browser method by running the script i posted - does the same but is easier - imo - just a shortcut on the desktop

Tony

just a quick point are you running 32 or 64 bit W7 I get the came as above with 64 bit the browser will not open a telnet session (I guess it will not launch what I suspect is a 32 bit app I hadn't thought about it before as I have a work arround but it may be worth trying with a 32 bit browser (If I can be bothered to experiment that is)), but I just do it manually instead (I find that even easier LOL).

It's been quite a while now ... and I don't recall a lot of detail (sorry ) ... but I think starting with Win XP, and now Win7/64, I am using "putty.exe" in "Telnet" mode. Can't remember where I donwloaded it from, but it works great. Also don't remember if I had to make any adjustments in Win7 config to get it to work.

When I do an "About" in the program I get this:

am running 64 bit on this pc - just powered one up with 32bit windows 7 on it - both work the same with NasLite - i am not running M2 - that may have some bearing - not sure but think not as the problems seem to be windows based

i have some memory of playing with telnet on the 64bit machine - copying something over from the 32bit system - i think there is a post on here saying what i did - will have a look - i will have a note somewhere of it

from a post i made earlier this year



thats how i got it working

What "tony a" advises will likely meet your needs ... but just to be complete on my earlier post ... I just now clicked on the "Visit Web Site" button (DUH!) ... it took me to http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

Just Knew that I had seen it somewhere just to lazy to look LOL

Doug

Start > Run > (type) telnet 192.168.1.xxx and hit enter.

Hi folks
Wow! you have been busy without me....lol
Thanks for all the info....I actually use the 32bit vesion of Internet Explorer 9 , but no dice. Firefox, 6.0.2 on the other hand opens a window and wants me to choose the program for opening the link from NASLite interface...but even though I know telnet.exe is in system32 firefox can't see it? Almost all programs in system32 are visible but not telnet.exe?

I am wondering if it is another webrowser causing the problem...sorry, I mean I have all web browsers installed for building and testing web site in Dreamweaver....saw something about apple software causing problems......

not sure what you are saying - see my fix above - it works

Hi tona a
No probs...I don't know what I am saying half the time.....going senile in my old age....

I will try your fix...thanks!
