Certification problem

OSX Snow Leopard / Readynas pro 4 / Chrome

I have a fixed IP address 192.168.1.100 on my nas and for some reason when I sign in to frontview, it thinks it is 192.168.1.119 and therefore the self-signed security certificate is not valid. I can over-ride it, but when I restart Chrome, it happens again. Just an annoyance really.

I have deleted the 119 certificate in keychains, but it just gets recreated and the same problem.

Any ideas on how I can eradicate the 119 address for good?

Thanks in advance.

    UPDATE: Through various deleting certs and using different browsers to generate new ones, it now works. Not quite perfectly as it throws up a dialogue box for signing in, but it is at least pre-filled.

    Thanks once again mdgm.



    Thanks for the super quick response mdgm.

    Strangely, it hasn't worked.

    It did require a new 'always trust' certificate from Safari - which then gets rid of the problem. However, Chrome (which doesn't give you that option) still complains.

    In keychains, I deleted the 119 certificate, but it seems to have been replicated - as 119 again.

    Obviously I can use Safari or change my fixed ip to 119, but if you have any other ideas, I'd love to try and sort it out if I can. I like Chrome because I can get rid of ads and am used to 100, so would rather not change.
