I removed the RN2xx version and installed the general version. (What is the difference between the versions ? as i would assume the RN2xx is the one specificaly created for this NAS) I again wasn't able to open the webpage however i found an option in the shares page called dlna.
Once i clicked on this DLNA option and it went green i was able to open the Plex webpage ... Eureka :-) ...

I want to add the screenshot to this page but am unable to browse my pc for the picture to add :-(

This option is hidden in the shared folders -> <one of my own created folders> -> network access. Here i have some buttons which i can click to enable or disable apperantly the access to this share like ftp, smb and also dlna. Once i clicked on the dlna option it went green and i was able to browse the webpage and manage the plex webserver ...

Thanks for all the support and it works now perfectly ..

Did you install the R2xx version or the more generic version?

Is port 32400 forwarded in your router?

What happens if you click on the plex media server link the the web admin system/overview page?

If i click on the web link i receive the 'page can not be openend' message in the webbrowser. The port is not specific open on the router as i don't want to allow internet access to the nas. I try this from my own local network

Hello c0zy,

Welcome to the community!

Please install the other version (without the RN2XX).

  Best to uninstall the current version first of course.

    Hello All,
    
    I hate to butt in but I have the ReadyNAS 202 (RN20200). I have successfully installed the PMS RN2XX version and updated it a few times without issue. I am not a techie on this qquipment at all but it would seem that he is having another issue.
