Pass internet through readynas
Hi, I have an older Ultra 6 using OS6. I would like to setup so that I can pass through my internet through the NAS to my PC. So my setup would be ROUTER -> eth0 in NAS, eth1 in nas -> PC ...
I don't think you'll be able to get this to work. I suggest getting an inexpensive gigabit switch instead, and connect both the NAS and the PC to the switch. You should be able to find something suitable for ~ $25 USD.
Generic Linux or here Debian would be easy -> https://wiki.debian.org/BridgeNetworkConnections Trouble might be that Netgear is using some network config tools for embedded systems ....
Even easier would it be on QNAP QTS with it's Virtual Switch 8-)

Hence the question! The readynas OS tends to overwrite configs and/or use the utilities already.

- Had hoped to avoid the extra devices, but I guess it's an option.
Cheers.
