NASLite Network Attached Storage

I am trying to make a download link from my new NASLite CORE-3 Disk-1. I opened port 80 for a HTML server on 192.168.1.112. When I tried the link: [b]http://XX.XX.XXX.XXX:80/Disk-1/MP3.zip [/b] nothing happened, the file did NOT present itself as a download.

When changed the setup in the router and pointed port 80 towards 192.168.1.111 (which is the old box still using NASLite v2.06 10-2007) there is no problem at all. I can see directories, download files, whatever.

I cleaned the cache of the browser (I don't think this should influence the URL correctness, but safety first) There's nothing wrong with the syntax, HTTP is enabled on NASLite.

So my guess is that there is something wrong with CORE-3.
Oh, BTW, I do not want to use the old box because it's full with important and files and data, and I do not want to leave port 80 open for that disk.

The local status pages pop up fine.

Anybody a guess?

Your browser.

Ralph, Thanks for your quick answer. I tried Firefox, I tried IE Explorer, I tried Chrome. Every browser has the same result.

> I can download from NL 2.06
> I can't from CORE-3

So the question remains: anybody any idea what's happening?

You may also want to check your syntax, from your example your missing drives.

http://naslite.xxx.com/Disk-1/file.zip

You are right, but that was just a typo in the posting.

PieterB

Hm!

It's pretty simple - If you can browse and download the content hosted on your NASLite via HTTP, then there is no problem with your NAS. Keep in mind that things are case sensitive and paths are absolute.

Did you try to access those files in local mode (directly from your internal LAN)? If this works, then you have a problem with your redirection.

I'd vote for the a upper/lowercase typo too.

What happens if you DO NOT type the name of the file but select it from the list of files shown when you type xxx:80/Disk-0 ?

Robbie, Thanks for jumping in.

It is mind boggling. Your 'redirecting' suggestion induced another experiment. I have a FON router/antenna, and I connected to that network (which is basically an outside network). This time, to avoid typo's and mishaps, I tried to get to the old and new box with the syntax: http://XX.XX.XXX.XXX:80

Old 2.06 box: Immediately the NASlite-2 screen (Disk-1 Disk-2 Status)
New CORE3: Nothing

My guess is that there is a strange hiccup with the router's firewall, though I cannot see what and how.







Three attachments is max, so the last two screens are in the next posting.

Thanks.

Should it not be FTP.....?

Pieter.

Please try to connect to YOUR.IP:80 without the disk name attached! Then you follow the links on the screen.

I can connect to your server so you should be able to do it too. I think that the MP3.zip has an error on the file name .../... no, that is not exact as I can type the whole line IP/Disk-1/MP3.zip and the DL starts on my computer.

You have something blocking the way when you try to DL. I don't know what

Edit: Seems that I saw your OLD NL (sorry for poking around but I was trying to se what is not working). Please put the :80 port to your NEW NL box and test.

Damn, Robbie. I left my important file server open. Please, next time, send me a personal massage. I assume :-) you left everything in tact. But thank you for the warning. I've been changing so often now, and I had business this morning and teaching this afternoon. So was in a hurry, still hoping to see success.

But it gives me the opportunity to ask you to mess around again, and try to give me the same picture of my new box. I pointed port 80 to 192.168.1.112, the IP of the CORE3 box.

I bet you won't be able to give me that picture.
Indeed it is XX.XX.XXX.XXX:80 (maybe delete the last post, or delete the picture, I do not want people poking my IP)

PieterB

Nick, ftp is port 21. I could try that also.
(didn't work)

Thanks.

just finished reading all this and tried to understand it as it is something i would like to do - have to say i am struggling to make sense of it all

but one observation so far - i assume you have denied access to your old server - if so i can still see it - so is port 80 still pointed at it rather than the new core3 server

when i say i can see it - i can see 2 drives - did not look further than that

Pieter.

I did get to your router but got "Another admin connected" (I had forgotten to put the :80 and was surprised to arrive there). Then couldn't get to the NL Core 3 or to your IP. I cannot access anything anymore. Did the IP change ?

I cleaned my post of your IPs and no, I didn't mess around with your files (even though you have some nice music, I even didn't DL them). I was testing, not hacking.

If your IP changed, send your new IP in a PM.
