Odd issue with Duo and LAN port

One would think they'd make their NAS work with their own switch.... Can you take the duo into the switch room, and try connecting it directly to the office switch port? I realize that the office port checks out ok on your tester, am just thinking that test would eliminate any possibility of something subtle with the wiring.

I did and it works OK directly connected to switch port using 6 foot cable.

Building cable checks out OK and works just fine with about 6 other devices I tried. Also checks out OK with my cable tester. The Readynas definitely doesn't like something with this office wiring. For now I have a switch in between which seems to have worked around whatever issue there is.
