Back to Ethernet
This has been my setup for some time: 2 near identical Windows 7 Pro PCs, connected to an ADSL router, networked. A wireless router, connected from the ADSL router, with my ReadyNAS N C+ connect...

Thanks for your interest.
I didn't make myself clear here - sorry !
I have removed all wireless completely from this setup, so a wireless router is not connected to the ADSL router and is no longer in use. I will have no use for wireless connections for some time.
I have sought a completely Ethernet connection between the two PCs - which I now have, and it is working perfectly.
I want to add my NAS to this Ethernet network, but when I plug it in to the ADSL router, I cannot access it. Probably due to the settings I used in it earlier in a wireless network.
I cannot access Frontpage through RAIDar to reset the connection. It goes to a page (at 192.168.1.200) but will not setup from there. I am at a loss to know what to do, and I don't want to corrupt anything so that I lose the entire contents of the NAS !
Strangely, it shows up on the Network Map in Win7 , Network Sharing Centre (clicking on "Show full map") where
both PCs and the NAS are shown as having a "switch" between them and the Gateway.
Apologies for the confusion.
