Lost access to ReadyNas Duo

Hi,
I am trying to access my ReadyNas Duo with no success so far.

In Raidar I found it in 192.168.0.12, but when I try https://192.168.0.12/admin nothing happens.
Also, in finder, trying afp://192.168.0.12 does not connect.

It used to work well, but I haven't used the ReadyNas Duo for a while and I have updated my OS to Mountain Lion.

I read that some people have fixed the same problem fixing the firmware, but I don't know how to update the firmware without the web access.

Any idea?

Thanks

    And you reinserted them in rapid succession???

    Whenever you insert a drive into a running NAS (with XRAID) the first thing that happens is that the disk gets wiped. If the remaining disk is good, then the newly inserted disk is re-built from it. But you re-insert the second disk before that is finished, then you are hosed. Hopefully you have a backup.

    Vendor disk diags generally only work on a Windows PC. Do you have access to one?
  • I have no problem loosing data (I have backup). I don't have a Windows PC, just a notebook. I think I have to find one and test my drives, right?

    A laptop can be used if you have:
    (a) SATA power brick

    (b) SATA->eSata cable if the laptop has eSata
    or
    (c) SATA->USB adapter.

    Or a USB enclosure that is externally powered.
