ReadyNAS Duo IP address
Can't connect to new router. IP address seems to be 192.168.1.12. Is this static? Can I make it dynamic?
I didn't want to disturb the router. I connected the ReadyNAS directly to my laptop using the ethernet port with a fixed IP setting of the NAS, 192.168.1.12. RAIDer now works but I can't get 192.168.1.12/admin tab to connect from my Chrome browser. I tried turning off all Windows firewalls and I exempted the NAS IP from security scans from Sophos, no change. Any other ideas?

RAIDar should have worked before, since it uses ethernet broadcast (and not IP) to find the NAS.
You need to set the laptop to use a compatible IP address. For instance, temporarily set it to use 192.168.1.10, with a subnet address of 255.255.255.0 and a gateway address of 192.168.1.1.
Or change the plan, and use 192.168.0.x in the router (which you can make permanent if you like).
