Can't Connect to READYnas RNDU 2000 with Windows 10
I have a ReadyNas that is very old but has been working fine until a few weeks ago. I have not had it turned on for some time. It boots up normally. I am now unable to access any shares with RAIDAR 6...

I have changed the TCP/IPVv4 IP address to 169.168.168.168, Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0 and Default gateway to 192.168.1.1. I can now get RAIDAR 4.3.8 to find the NAS but I cannot "Browse" the shares.
If you are directly connecting, try setting the PC to use:
- IP address 192.168.168.100
- subnet: 255.255.255.0
- router: 192.168.168.168
Then access the NAS by it's IP address (instead of it's hostname).
192.168.168.168 is the IP address the NAS uses if it cannot get an address from DHCP.
One thing to try is to reboot your router, and then reboot the NAS.

The NAS is connected directly to my computer via ethernet

I did these steps a few times and now it's working again! I can access the NAS via RAIDAR and I can see it and access it via File explorer. I can also access it by entering the ip address/admin. I'm now going to look for a new NAS chasis and drives to replaces this aging one. Thanks so much for helping me access my data.
Your Ultra2 can still make a fine backup to your new NAS. I recommend converting it to OS6 if you do that. It's much more up to date, and you won't have to switch back and forth between two different GUIs.
