ReadyNAS NV - Can't connect
Bought in 2006 as Infrant ReadyNAS NV, and it worked well until now. I replaced a couple failed disks over the years with no problem. Last week my ATT fiber gateway was replaced last week and now th...
The ReadyNAS NV started up fine and is running on it's original RAID disks, and thankfully, I was able to get all the data copied off of the NAS! Thanks to everyone on the thread for your assistance! :smileyvery-happy:
One weird thing:
With the test disk installed, Raidar showed the NAS was running on lastest firmware.
But with the old RAID array disks installed the firmware version shown in Raidar now says it's still running firmware "4.01c1-p1" The NAS has not updated the old disks to the newer software. I will retire it now anyway so doesn't matter.
I would like to make a donation in thanks for your assistance StephenB. Can you PM your paypal addy?
Thanks

When connected to the router, does the NAS show up as a connected device in the router's interface?
Does it show up on RAIDar with the drives removed?
If the unit is set to DHCP and there is no DHCP server available, then it will default to 192.168.168.168, not the address to which it was previously assigned. So set your laptop to 192.168.168.xxx and try again. If it is set to a static IP, then you used the right process.
If that works, then we can move forward and try to figure out why it doesn't appear on your network when connected to the router.
If something has happened to your NAS hardware and the array is intact, then an NV or NV+ will work to access the data. But you are buying something that's quite old. Frankly, I think the going price on eBay is a bit steep, too.
There are other ways to recover the data, too. But let's try and get your NAS working first.
