Connect ReadyNAS directly to pc without internet?
Can Seagate NAS HHD 4TB hard drives that were in a ReadyNAS 316 be used in a ReadyNAS 104 4-bay Diskless or a ReadyNAS 314 4-bay Diskless? Does it matter what order they were in? They were mixed up. ...
With your current set up, you can access the plex server from the PC, but not from anything else. The PC can talk to the NAS, and the PC can talk to the internet. But the NAS can only reach the PC.
If you want the NAS to reach the internet, or other devices (like a SMART TV or phone) to reach the NAS, then you have two basic options.
(a) connect the NAS to a suitable WiFi extension, and let it get an IP address from the unite.
(b) try to set up internet connection sharing on the PC (which will use the PC as a router).
If you are doing (a) with the ex6200, then you can also hook up your SMART TV to the unite (either with wifi) or to the EX6200 (WiFi or ethernet). You end up with all the connectivity you need. Its a more robust solution than (b).
