    A User on Stack Exchange pointed out 192.168.0.14 was my laptop address, not the EX6200 address like I thought.

     

    I found the address for the EX6200 by logging on to my router and looking at the Device table. Using the correct address in the "Connect Server" popup solved the problem.

    Hi FYates,

     

    1. Is the ReadySHARE drive connected to the EX6200 or to a main NETGEAR router?

    2. Does the issue persist if the Ubuntu computer is connected wired to the EX6200?

    3. Can the Ubuntu computer ping the router and/or the extender?

    4. Can the Ubuntu computer access the ReadySHARE drive via http and/or ftp?

    5. What is the firmware version of the extender?

     

    Regards,
