Pinging from ReadyNAS Duo
Issue: Transmission no longer seen as seeding torrents to a private tracker. I need to be able to ping the tracker from the NAS. How do I do that?
There are indeed interfaces that let you ping from GUI (webmin for example can do that I think), but they will require command lines to be installed on ReadyNAS, so you are back to start.
Linux commands and OS X commands are really similar because they both use bash as a core. the command to ping is just "ping IP(or name)" for example "ping 127.0.0.1", use ctrl+C to stop pinging. If you can't ping a traceroute command can be useful. If your tracker uses a DNS name (e.g not an IP address), then you want to try the "nslookup tracker-website-name" command to see if the DNS can actually translate the name into IP.
You can try on OS X in the terminal. If you want to issue them on the NAS you would have to use "ssh root@NAS-IP" in the terminal then issuing the ping / traceroute / nslookup command
