Cannot connect to internet - RN10400
Hello Community! Hope you are doing good! I have a RN10400 with 4 WD 3TB Reds - Raid 5. The NAS is connected to my desktop PC (Windows 8.1) motherboard port via an Eithernet cable. My PC is...
Hello netuser24,
The NAS should be connected to a network where there is a router. It needs to get an IP address from the network. Currently, you are just hardwired straight to the NAS and this NAS won't receive an Internet connection as the 169.254.x.x IP address is just an APIPA.
To make it short, you have set it up incorrectly. You can use the NAS this way and access it locally with the APIPA address but do not expect it to get on the Internet as it is not connected to any Internet source.
I suggest you put the network settings of the NAS back to Dynamic or DHCP and connect it to the router. Then run RAIDar to check the status of the NAS. NAS and computer should be connected to the same network.
Maybe this article will help: What is the local admin page and how do I access it on my ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system?
