Replaced my router and now I can not connect to ReadyNAS Pro
I switched out my Cisco routers for Mac Airports. Everything on my network is fine except I can not connect to the ReadyNAS through Windows. I can connect to the NAS through RAIDar fine, but not through Explorer. I have tried to connect every way possible and nothing is working, I can't even ping it. I have tried powering off everything and that didn't work. I tried booting up without it connected to my networked and then plugged in the Cat cables. But nothing has worked.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Deep down I knew that is what had to be done. Last time I tried that I ended up selecting the wrong option and erasing all of my data. :( So I was a little gun shy this time. Worked like a charm and its what I needed to get over my fear.
Thanks!- Glad the problem is solved.
You can monitor the NAS using RAIDar (http://www.readynas.com/downloads). If for some reason you accidentally chose to do a factory default you'd have 10 minutes to power down the NAS however you can to abort it. - coondogg97, now that everything is up and running and all is fine, maybe it's time to consider a back up. Just saying, that the peace of mind a current and complete backup just might be worth the effort. If you have a lot of data, maybe work toward a second ReadyNAS with a similar volume so you can set up automatic backups. At least back up the critical/important data that cannot be restored.
