Can't login to ReadyNas102 anymore

HI all,

have a problem with my readyNas 102. Today I had a power interuption and when power was back up again my ready nas was starting automatically. I tried to login over web browser but without success. Cant get any connection over three different pcs. Tried Firefox and IE - no chance! But the strange thing is that I can still see all my drives from the NAS over Windows explorer. I just can't access the admin page...

Any ideas?

Best regards,

Florian

  • Hallo, I have the same problem.
    I decided to do a factory restore on my naso to clean it completly because I need to use it for other porpouses than last.
    I follow the procedure correctly and from Raidar all the parameters are changed, but if I try to setup my browser says that can't reach the serever (192.168.0.101 is the new IP assigned to the nas).
    Do you find any solution?
    I tryed also to restore OS, but nothing has canged, still doesn't work.
  • Hi all,

    want to update you on my topic. I was in contact with Netgear support but they wouldn't help me because I'm out of 90 days period. I was a bit disapointed but took it as it is.

    I decided to set my nas back to factory defaults because I think this was the last thing I could do! Unfortunately I lost also all my data on it and took me lot of time setting it up new again. Maybe Netgear can find a way resetting machine without loosing stored data on it?!? Would have so many advantages because I guess not all people having more than one backup... Anyway... It's up and running and hope it's not screwing up again.

    I still have one question. After copying all my data from my backup-nas (ReadyNas duo V1) there is a difference in disk usage but I thought all data are the same now. The strange thing is the "usage bars" in Windows explorer are the same. Is there just a difference in storage efficiency? Please find attached a screenshots of my network drives. The disk usage in backup-nas is more than in the flomer-nas. But I don't think I missed something... Any ideas??

    Thanks, Florian

    An OS re-install will reset some settings but leave data intact. Did you try that before you tried the factory default?

    The Duo uses a larger block size so files will take up a little more space on it.

    Are you sure you have backed up everything from the Duo? Do you use home shares on your Duo?
  • I tried an OS-reinstall before but without success. I checked everythin again and it seems all data are there.

    You confirmed what I thought before - the duo takes a bit more space with similar data copmared to the 102.

    I guess I'm back up again to my last status.

    BUT - it was a lot of work which I don't have normally. But it was needed...
