Can't see ReadyNAS in computer Network
Hope someone can assist me. I dont seem to be able to see my Readynas in the network on my computer anymore following a power flick some 24 hours ago. I also cant seem to disover my NAS when I log ...
Hi Macspark
Yes you will connect your PC to the Ethernet port and try to access the NAS by detecting it on RAIDar or via Hostname assigned to it or the default hostname which is nas-XX-XX-XX (where XX-XX-XX are the last six (6) Hexadecimal characters of the primary MAC Address.
e.g.
the default hostname of a ReadyNAS that has the MAC Address 2C:B0:5D:BF:20:EA is nas-BF-20-EA. To access the Admin Page: http://nas-bf-20-ea/admin To access the shares through Windows Explorer: \\nas-bf-20-ea
Since you have your NAS accessible again, I encourage you to press the accept as solution button on the post you see as the resolution so other community users can benefit from the solution.
Hope this helps!

I have checked my Network and all seems to be working ok as I have a CCTV system running through it and I can see that working remotely as well as locally.
I have tried Raidar but that cant locate me NAS either.
How would I identify if my IP has changed, I cant remember what it was when I set it up, unless it is supposed to be the same as the one I use to log into Admin which is also not allowing me in now.
If I try and click any files on my mapped drives all are saying cant find the path.
Hi Macspark
You can identify the IP using RAIDar
Your ReadyNAS might not be getting an IP, Does the Ethernet port being used has LED lit? have you tried changing the ethernet port where your cable is connected?
If it still not getting any IP or not being detected try connecting your computer directly on the NAS and run RAIDar.
I would suggest contacting NETGEAR Support as well if it is still not getting detected.

Hi Marc_V
You mentioned connecting the NAS directly to the computer and to then run RAIDar.
Do I connect it by plugging the ethernet cable directly from the NAS to the PC or is this done via the USB ports on the back of the NAS, Sorry just not sure.

Just letting you know my NAS has come back up, not sure what I did as I tried a number of things.
The last thing I did was a soft power down and restart, although I did do that on a couple of occasions in the last couple of days, so still none the wiser.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter, much appresiated.
Still would like to know the answer to my last question regards connecting NAS directly to PC?
