Limitation & Known Issues:

- DS-101 supports USB storage device and USB printer only. It does not support the USB storage device connected with USB hub.
- If the Networking setting is DHCP and DHCP server has WINS server service, DS-101 will not remove the WINS server setting. The reason is the existence of WINS server will make the DS-101 functions work in Windows network environment smoother, so as long as there is a method to get the WINS server information, DS-101 will not delete the WINS server setting, and it'll capture the WINS setting of DHCP server.
- Windows XP client: If the guest account is enabled and has no password on DS-101 , when a Windows XP client connects to DS-101 by CIFS, Windows XP will not ask for the name/password and automatically switch to use guest account to access DS-101 directly.
- Some USB disk requires plugging both USB connectors for getting enough power supply from USB connectors Alternatively such disk may use external power.
