Error Connecting To Remote Server After Upgrade to 3TB Disks
Hi All,
I have a ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition [X-RAID2] running 4.2.17 firmware. I recently upgraded from six Hitachi 2TB disks and replaced them with six Hitachi 3TB Hitachi HDS723030ALA640 drives because I was at 95 percent capacity with the six 2TB drives. The Pro Pioneer was able to connect the internet and mysqueezebox.com prior to the upgrade when I had the six 2TB drives, but after I upgraded to the six 3TB drives, I have lost internet connection to the Pro Pioneer, even though all my PC clients can read and write to the Pro Pioneer volumes with Windows 7 Ultimate 32- and 64-bit OS with no problem. Consequently, I get the "error Connecting To Remote Server" when checking for a firmware update, and I cannot connect to mysqueezebox.com for the Squeezecenter service. All my PC clients are connected to the same Gigabit network and can access the internet with no problems.
The Pro Pioneer is hard wired to my Gigabit network and I am using a static IPv4 address of 192.168.0.20, subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and a default gateway of 192.168.0.1 which is my dLink 855 Gigabit router address. These were the settings I used before I replaced the 2TB disks with the 3TB disks. I just don't know what to check anymore.
All six Hitachi 3TB drives are allocated 2,790 GB of space with a total of 13TB available in the X-RAID2 configuration (sweet!). I know that upgrading from 2TB to 3TB disks has nothing to do with the Pioneer Pro internet connectivity issue, as it is probably just coincidence.
Can anyone please give me some other options that I can look at?
Thanks,
Ed

- Disregard my inquiry. I changed my Pro Pioneer IPv4 assignment to dynamic (Use values from a DHCP server), and rebooted. I found the Pro Pioneer with RAIDar, performed a system firmware upgrade to 4.2.17 again. Rebooted, and then changed my IPv4 assignment back to static 192.168.0.20 (Use values below) and all is well and I can connect to mysqueezebox.com again. Guess there was a hick-up in the Pro Pioneer firmware that not even a reboot or shutdown would clear to enable it to connect to the internet.
Life is sweet again. :D
Cheers,
Ed
