Problem booting ReadyNAS NV after IP address change to DHCP
I have a ReadyNAS NV that has been running fine. However, I today changed from a hard coded IP address on an old subnet, to DHCP. It gave me a warning about not being able to access when the IP change...

Try RAIDar, and see if it sees the NAS and if so, what IP address it reports.
Also, then DHCP fails, the NAS should switch to address 192.168.168.168. So you could also try a direct connect, manually ssigning your PC a compatible address (192.168.168.100, subnet 255.255.255.0).
You can also try an OS reinstall. That will reset your admin password back to the original factory default, (not sure what that would be for your model), and also reset the IP configuration.
