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.

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?
