Can't connect to NV+ V2, RAIDar finds it
I've moved my ReadyNAS NV+ V2 to a new home network (different router Zoom 5352).
- ReadyNAS boots up and displays it's IP address
- RAIDar.exe finds the NAS and shows status as healthy, all is good
- IPscanner find the NAS
- Admin page doesn't load if I type in the IP address in a browser
- I can't "map network drive" through windows explorer, doesn't find that drive
I've tried, rebooting.
The Zoom 5352 router has just the basic default configuration. I don't think I need to set anything like port-forwarding or other settings if I'm just using the NAS locally (within the LAN).
Any thoughts, suggestions?

- Ok.
What are the IP addresses of the new router, the readynas and the PC?
They should all have the same 3 digits, eg. 192.168.1.x, or 192.168.2.x. Do they?
Was the readynas network setting dhcp or had you set a static address?
Can you access the admin pages through raidar ?
You can do an OS reinstall using the boot menu which will reset the network settings to dhcp, but it should be possible to fix this without doing that. - @vandermerwe
That was it. ReadyNAS had static ip of 192.168.1.x, the new router had all IPs at 192.168.0.x
1) Connected to ReadyNAS directly by setting my computer's IP to static and connecting a network cable NAS -> PC
2) Logged in successfully, changed static ip to 192.168.0.x
3) Plugged everything back into the router - If you have other LAN devices with static IP addresses, it's easier to change the router's IP address if you can.
- What I tend to do is used a reserved address list in the router settings to set static I.P.s and leave most devices configured to pickup an I.P. address via DHCP.
- I agree that reserving addresses is better than using static ones.
Also I agree with vandermerwe that if you have chosen to use static addresses it is easiest to preserve the old router's address range when switching to a new router.
