HiLinux - ReadyNAS Ultra 2I just changed my NETGEAR FVS318 for a FVS318gWith the former I was using the default ip address range 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.xxxThe FVS318g defaults to 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.xxxRAIDar can see my readynas on the new router (with a different ip address) but I can't enter setup to change to the new ip address I want to use. The control panel/frontview won't open in my browser - I think the password is ip specific.Can anybody tell me how I can change my ReadyNAS ip address please, bearing in mind I can't open Control Panel?Many thanks,David

If RAIDar sees a new 192.168.1.x address, you should be able to log into Frontview by entering https://192.168.1.x/admin.You will get a new security certificate exception, which you will need to click through. I find the security certificate stuff less frustrating to use with FireFox (over IE).

Hi,Thanks for your post.That's my problem.Using Firefox and allowing the exception, when I get to the login for (it says) 'Control Panel' my password is not accepted. Yet it is the correct password.David

Did you by chance set the IP address on the Pro to static rather than dynamic (my ReadyNAS units all have static IP addresses)? If so, then while Radar will see the NAS, you can't connect to it. Check the IP address shown on the front panel of the Pro (momentarily press the power button) and verify that it is in the range of the FVS318g).Simply changing switches (or routers) will not change the admin password, but will change the IP address (if the IP is dynamic).It sounds as if the firewall on the FVS318g may be blocking your access to the NAS. Have you contacted Netgear Tech Support about this issue with the FVS318g?

Hi,Thanks for your reply.Just to clarify - its a ReadyNAS Ultra 2, not Pro - so I don't have the LCD display.I always had it set up to get the ip from my router (Netgear FVS318) by giving it a fixed ip in the table.If I revert to my old router I don't have a problem.In the new router it has a new IP address - still works fine, not a problem, no firewall blocking - except I can't get Frontview. I get a security certificate exception - get past that but then it won't accept my password. It's trying to log me into 'control panel'.I can access it using ssh in terminal but from there I'm lost.David

Yes, normally when you log into Frontview you get the logon and password prompt, and the application is reported as control panel. So that should be happening with your old router as well (unless you set it up to remember your logon).At the risk of being too basic - you did enter "admin" as the user, correct?

Apologies for the delay replying.

Now suddenly I'm locked out again, exception error but it says the certificate is valid and override is greyed out.

I might just delete all Firefox and related folders and reinstall Firefox.

That solved it - though I still got an exception to the certificate.

The certificate said it was for 192.168.0.5 - an address I have never used. odd?

Thanks for your help StephenB and PapaBear.

Great that you are up and running. You might look at your router settings, some will let you make an IP address reservation. That would allow you to continue to use DHCP in the ReadyNAS, but prevent more IP changes (until you change routers again...)

Maybe the initial boot used the .5 address? It is possible to regenerate the certificate, but I wouldn't bother (it doesn't eliminate the exception, which is because the certificate wasn't created by a trusted third party).

I reserved addresses for each connected item in my router.

FWIW, it's interesting that this exception only happened on one of my networked computers. (All linux and Firefox)

As you say, it is working now. Thanks.
