No network link after disk 1 failure #19879784
Recently my Pioneer Pro's disk 1 failed and now, once fully booted, it does not recognize any network link from either of its ethernet ports, either when connected directly into the modem or even when...
I've replaced the failed Disk 1 and my Pioneer Pro volume has now resynched successfully but still indicates it has "no network link".
I have tried two brand new ethernet cables between all connections, neither of which change the following:
My router light blinks to indicate there is a connection being made to the ReadyNAS.
Ethernet port lights next to each port on my ReadyNAS, router and PC motherboard blink as if everything is normal whenever a cable is connected.
RAIDar detects the ReadyNAS on boot up, and indicates it has been assigned a DHCP address by my router and a MAC address is also specified, but when I attempt to Browse or enter Frontview via RAIDar, my browser informs me a "connection cannot be made", or a Windows dialogue box pops up to tell me Windows cannot access the ReadyNAS DCHP address as specified in RAIDar. I cannot access Frontview from RAIDar, either. When I click the Diagnose button on the Windows error dialog box, I am informed "the remote device won't accept the connection".
If I try to swap ethernet ports once this initial boot-up connection has been confirmed in RAIDar, RAIDar's detection is lost and cannot be retrieved by me refreshing RAIDar. I have to re-boot the ReadyNAS for RAIDar to detect it again.
All of these issues occur irrespective of which router port i use on my router, ReadyNAS or PC motherboard.
My router is a Billion 7800N and has always worked like a charm.
Why has my ReadyNAS lost its network capabilities? Do i need to replace its onboard NIC? This seems to be the only solution i can glean from the forums when i search for "no network link" problems.
I'd really appreciate it if someone can help me, here. I'm a little worried no one has replied so far.
