Vandermerwe and StephenB,
OK. OK. I did it. I did it. I did it! Post more research in my router's UM, I did enable DHCP. I did set a range of 10.0.0.2 - 10.0.0.30.
I did also populate the 'reserved address' table in the router with all of my current LAN clients whether they are ON or OFF. When done, I rebooted the router. Once complete, I opened RAIDar and then powered on the DUO-v2. The DUO-v2 popped into RAIDar presenting its' NEW IP addy of 10.0.0.2! Success. :D
The DUO-v2 logic does work. :slap:
OK, that test is complete. I have now decided to just leave 'sleeping dogs lay!' I did NOT even try to change/reset the NAS's new IP addy to something else! I'm done with this business for now. As this logic works it will make this NAS much easier for my Brother to install it on his home LAN. I do not think that he micro-manages his LAN as I do.
So, no RMA for the DUO-v2. I will wait for the replacement hard drive and expand the volume. Then, I'll package the NAS in its' box and UPS it off to my Brother. Project complete. BTW, I did upgrade the NAS to RAIDiator v5.3.9-T5 (beta).
I do so appreciate all the help both of you provided. I have new arrows in my NAS quiver!! If you have questions, please ask.
