RN1044 6.5.2 can't login
Ok - I have an RN10400 thats been running well for years. I have four disks with a fair amount of data in Raid Pairs. We had it on network 2 (192.168.0.X) working with Active Directory linked to ...
Ok - Well its the new year now and after the Christmas holidays things have settled down and its just worked again.
I tried it on the second NIC (on dhcp) and then bought it to my office and tried various things.
Then the Xmas holidays hit so its been sitting locked up in the workshop.
Today I took it back, plugged it in (Again - NIC2 on DHCP) and its working perfectly and the authentication via Windows Server AD is all working.
Perhaps it was actually a problem on the AD itself with merger of servers back to one site requiring IP changes and DNS cache etc but whatever the case its all going.
Now to back it up and do some more firmware updates.
6.5.2 - Sorry - I put it on the subject but not in the body :)
I've found a bit of talk around 6.5.2 and some took drives out and wiped them which I don't want to do. Others maraculously started working and some got assistance from Netgear engineers.
I'm tempted to login to the page and click the upgrade button but that could make things worse potentially - At least in my head if the background processes aren't running correctly it might not complete the updated. I could be wrong there and that might be the best thing to do but figured I'd run it past people who have a greater experience of the devices.
