Cannot Browse NAS from XP?

Question

Hi,I have seen and read the other similar topics but cant solve the problem...I am using RAIDar 4.3.8 and can see the NAS and its IP 192.168.0.15 But the "browse" button is grey and cant be pressed..Also tried browsing to ip and /admin but nothing comes up. can of course also ping it. Tried installing readynas remote but install ended in error saying "Initializin failed" and gives error code -3 and an URL that I try to click on but no browser window opens..The blue lamp on the NAS is slowly blinking...Help....

Hi BrandtzI, like you, have a ReadyNAS Duo 2 and I am running it from my WinXP Pro SP3 PC.OK, that said, I am communicating with my NAS via a modem-router that also acts as a DNS server and allocates IP addresses to my various Internet enabled hardware. However, for my NAS I have set my modem-router to provide it with a static IP while my PC has whatever IP is available.Therefore, I must ask you this silly question, have you configured your set-up so that your NAS uses the same IP address all the time? And if so, then is your router still using the same IP to communicate with your NAS?Let us know.UK Bob

The NAS and my computer are on same network with same subnet. The NAS has a static IP just so we know from backup applications which it is.

Does the blink pattern match any of these? http://home.bott.ca/webserver/?p=324Remote is useless for diagnosing this, and might get in the way - I suggest you uninstall it.

Its very hard to determine the blink "pattern"....there is the blue on/off button that more "fades" on/off, some longer and some shorter, the small "act" led under blinks now and then..doesnt seems to be a distinct "pattern". After awhile (like now..) I cant see the NAS with RAIDar and would have to pull the plug and restart it. (The NAS has only one disk).

What firmware is running on the NAS?
