I have two NAS units (both NVX) on the same network, but only one network. I would be glad to assist, but am a non-programmer. I do have a moderate understanding of networks. Note: I have downloaded and installed the latest. I note there is no wrench icon to make adjustments. Perhaps something in the order of the way you change zip codes on weather gadgets. I have two of the Accuweather gadgets on my laptop with two different locations that way. When I loaded the second NAS gadget, the first one went blank. I thought it was because of the second one loaded. However, after removing the first, and only having one, the second one is reporting connection lost and is blank. RAIDar itself does not report this.

Hi Papabear,

Have been looking at how to add a 'wrench' so that users could adjust some of the settings; like update rate and to set an IPaddress for the NAS you want to monitor... so far haven't found a nice way to have the settings pass through from this set-up page to the actual program that is running in the gadget; but it still on my list do work on.

Not sure why the first gadget went blank when you loaded the second gadget... i have often tested the gadget program by running two (or three) instances at the same time and haven't seen this problem.

If your up for helping out, you could run a test app that i have built that simply broadcasts a message to all NAS'es on your network and stores the replies in a log file on your desktop.
A copy of the log file with a few minutes of data could work out what is going on; also would be helpful to use as test data future versions of the gadget.
You can find the .exe file here https://www.dropbox.com/s/0i2uzjxwr2tz2yb/MyRAIDarTest.exe
