Cannot connect discovery server
Hi, had my readynas 104 for 10 months with three x 3TB drives fitted - all working well - but had occasional failed transfers to it but this seems to have cleared up till recently. I spotted it wasn't...
Hi,
I'm new to this forum, and fairly noob with the NAS. I have a RN10400 with 4x WD30EFRX drives - 2 used to be Seagate Barricudas - more on that later.
I had the NAS running well for a year or so. I had a drive failure about 6 months ago and did a swap and resync successfully.
I then had another failure about 1 month ago. I swapped the drive and the NAS resynced. During resync another drive failed. I don't know if the resync was done before the second failure.
I put a new drive in to replace the second failure and I'm now getting a 'cannot connect discovery server' error. I can't access the NAS thru the web portal. I can't access thru windows explorer (Windows 7). I can't see the NAS on my router webportal. I can't ping the NAS IP, but I can see the NAS using RAIDar (and it says the drives are healthy).
It seems like a router or ethernet connection issue maybe (RT-AC66U) but I haven't changed any settings on my router. I'm moved the cable to both ports, and nothing. Both have a green flashing light.
I have a static IP on my NAS. I was trying to change to a dynamic IP but I can't access the NAS so I don't know how to do this.
Any help would be fantastic.
