My Canon i320 printer doesn't seem to work with the ReadyNAS. The printer appears and I am able to map it, but when I try to print to it, windows hangs.

Try setting it up as an IPP Printer with Bonjour.
What's that? I'm using windows...
You can download Bonjour for Windows from Apple's site, and it should detect the printer and allow you to set up IPP Printing over HTTP instead of CIFS. We've seen folks who've had problems with printing over CIFS had success over HTTP.
I've now got two Netgear GS105 (giga) switches on the network, replacing the nasty hub. I'm not using jumbo frames as I have an Xbox on the network too, but coupled with the GA311 NIC's I've installed everything appears to be working fine (apart from the Zone Alarm problems).
Cool, I see you went with the Netgear GS105 after all. Are you able to run 1000/full duplex now?
Interestingly, I have my GS108 plugged into a Linksys WRT54G (10/100 + 802.11b/g). The NV+ and desktop (Intel PRO1000GT) are plugged into the GS108 running jumbo frames. However, I've also got a laptop over 802.11g on the WRT54G. Everything works fine with the jumbo frames enabled and all. Surprising. You might give it a try just to see what happens.
Note that you'll get better read performance without jumbo frames, so if writes don't matter as much to you, don't bother...
Hiya - yes - the cash wasn't available for the 108 - was made redundant last month so would have rather not spent anything. Now, rather than 100mbs half duplex, I'm getting 1000mbs full duplex and the NV doesn't lock up with you try to do more than one thing.
Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone knows if the new Hitachi 1 TB drives will be compatible with the ReadyNAS NV? I know they're not out yet, but they are coming soon and the price is right... 🙂
Note that even with the 2TB limit, you can still use ~3TB (well, more like 2.7TB) in flex-RAID mode, you just have to maintain two separate RAID-5 volumes.
We'll have a beta release starting sometime next month. 😎
Will? Or plan to? 🙂

That's right, my track record's been put to the test. Let's say we'll try *really* hard to release a beta in February. 2007, 2008, I'm not sure? At least it'll be in February :lol:
Not sure if this is the right thread to post this, but my ol' HP 940C printer worked with my NV+. I had to supply the driver on the computer itself (instead of being available on the NV+), but I was pleased to see that it worked nonetheless.
I've now got two Netgear GS105 (giga) switches on the network... everything appears to be working fine...
Very peculiar... I've had two Netgear GS105v2 switches, neither worked. Both failed with similar symptoms: reading from NV is *very* slow (0..1 MB/s). I assume cabling is fine, since direct connection works as expected. Can't be anything wrong with NICs - they're both Intel Pro/1000 - right?
The second one is still sitting on my desk - I'll return it just like the first one and swear never to touch Netgear products again.
A year ago when I bought my X6, I put in 3 WD400YR drives. I was happy with their performance, so when I needed more space, I ordered the same RE2 family from NewEgg, the WD500YS, without even a thought (stupid, I know). After some issues with the new drive failing, I belatedly checked the Infrant website only to learn:
* Western Digital JS/KS/YD/YS - These models of Western Digital disks may return inaccurate temperature causing intermittent warnings and possible forced shutdowns, and we cannot recommend these disks at this time. In addition, the YS model does not support the Secure Erase command which is required for X-RAID expansion.
* Western Digital YS - The YS series is known to drop out from RAID sets intermittently. Western Digital has posted a firmware update that fixes this, although it has not yet been verified by Infrant. Please see Western Digital YS Warning.
I have updated the firmware, but I still have the problem that the YS drives don't support Secure Erase.
I'm assume that this is a critical problem & I'll have to replace my new drive. But before going through that I wanted to ask if Secure Erase is required or if it is just a security measure that (as a home user) I don't need to worry about.
If you have the latest 3.01c1-p6 firmware, we'll get around the Secure Erase problem.
Just to confirm, I can go ahead and use my WD500YS with the WD's updated firmware as long as I am running firmware 3.01c1-p6 (or later, I assume) on my RAID?
By your response, "we'll get around the Secure Erase problem", I take it that by not having Secure Erase support, my X6 will be slower when doing a X-RAID expansion. Will day to day usage (read/write) performance be effected as well?

Yes, that should work. Please do keep in mind that our QA has not blessed this drive with new firmware yet.

It'll be slower only during the initialization phase of the expansion.
