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

Thanks for your reply Sandshark
ReadyNAS doen't appear in router list of connected devices
With drives removed there is no change, other than 4 disk lights blinking green instead of 3 lights solid with 3 disks installed.
I rebooted the ReadyNas with no ethernet connected to force it to 192.168.168.168, then direct connected to PC set to IP 192.168.168.200 with mask 255.255.255.0. Raidar could not see it. Raidar was working 2 weeks ago over the LAN.
Thanks
Netgear Customer Support can't help me since my Infrant ReadyNAS did not come with a serial number! I bought it from Amazon in 2006, but the serial plate is blank. So I'm very appreciative of the support here on the forum.
I just purchased a used Infrant ReadyNAS NV from ebay seller, he said it works and ebay gives money back guarantee, so hopefully that will work out.
Is there anything I should do to the "new" unit before I install my drives and power it up?
Should I do a factory reset on it first?
Should I install a single scratch drive to see if it works?
Thanks for any ideas
