Hi btran33,
Welcome to the community!
Was it the same case if you will do a direct connection? Does the ReadyNAS IP address matches your network IP address?
Kind regards,

HI Brian: So Sorry, but I'm so new to this NAS and really have limitted Computer/network skill. Can you show me how to do the direct connection? as of IP address, yes it has the same IP address as my network IP when I'm able to ping it, just for a quick moment when it's set up the disks. But then it would just gone from the network! very weird! One mininute it's there then it just gone! the network lights is still blinking and fans runing, both driver lights is on, but I can't ping it or find it on the network!

Brian linked to the direct connect procedure here: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/21414/~/how-do-i-direct-connect-between-readynas-and-pc%2Fmac%3F
If you are using dhcp/automatic IP address assignment in the NAS, you
(a) directly connect the NAS ethernet cable to the PC
(b) assign IP address 192.168.168.100, gateway address 192.168.168.1, and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 to the PC (a temporary static address).
Then see if you can ping 192.168.168.168, and access https://192.168.168.168/admin
If your NAS is using a static address (and you would have had to configure it that way) you
(a) directly connect the NAS ethernet cable to the PC
(b) assign IP address 192.168.1.2, gateway address 192.168.1.1, and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 to the PC (a temporary static address).
Then see if you can ping 192.168.1.22, and access https://192.168.1.22/admin
You might want to arrange for per-incident support.
Hi:
I tried the direct connect the Nas to my computer yesterday follow your direction, but still can't ping or see the Nas in Raidar. I read on one of the post, can't seem to find it now, that someone had the same problem as mine and said that it's a firmware corrupted in flash memorry. Is there a way I can flash this ultra Nas with new firmware? I see the instruction for OS6 and for ARM system but not for X86 system.
thanks
