Duo-v2 upgrade HELP
OK, I have unpacked my old Duo-v2 (rnd2000-200NAS) again to set it up to go live with my Brother on his LAN. I have upgraded its' f/w to v5.3.8, host name, and modified/added some shares. I chose to u...
It's not entirely clear to me what you are trying to do, so my reply covers 2 possible scenarios:
Your Duo is not getting a dhcp assigned address (see below), even if it was you cannot change the dhcp assigned address from the dashboard, you would need to do this using your router by reserving an address for the duo.
The IP address you give (192.168.168.168) is what the readynas uses if it cannot get a dhcp assigned address. Is the readynas on the same subnet as the dhcp server? Is there a router with dhcp function? Is the dhcp turned on? Does the router have any filtering such as MAC address filtering on?
If you are already trying to set a static address then:
I assume you might want to set a static IP address, rather than have a dhcp assigned reserved IP address.
Tell us exactly how you are changing to a static IP address.
You are selecting "Use the following address" and then entering an IP address that is compatible with your lan, the correct subnet mask and gateway as well as dns addresses.
You then click apply.
Could you tell us exactly what you are entering in these fields, and also what your PC IP address, router lan IP address and the lan subnet mask are.
