Extremely slow access to D-Link DNS-323
I installed a D-link DNS-323 NAS device on a small P2P network and mapped 3 Windows XP computers to the shared folder. It is so slow to do everything. It takes about 30 seconds to even open a directory to view files and 30 to 60 seconds to open or save a 4MB Excel file. I know these Low end NAS devices are not the fastest but this seems completely out of line. Any suggestions? I updated the firmware with no change.

Everything is plugged directly into the 4 ports on the router. Not sure about the settings on the NAS if they can be changed? I will check

Sorry, I was never able to resolve this issue. I called dlink, updated firmware, change every possible settting and still slow as hell. So I, simply replaced the NAS with an old Pentium 4 Computer, installed the 2 hard drives that I had purchased for the NAS, Installed a fresh copy of XP Pro and simply shared the D drive and it works perfectly and fast.
I tried a Buffalo Pro Duo NAs as well and it was slow too, but not as bad as the D-link.

Sorry, I just figured I would give everyone points for trying. Thanks, I guess these low cost NAS devices are not ready for primetime?
