Ready NAS Direct connect Network errors
Hello All, I've had a Ready NAS Duo V1 for some years now, no problems at all. Always connected to the router. Anyway... Things have changed and I need to connect directly to my Mac (running Hi...
It's hard to diagnose with the information we have. It would be good to check that the ethernet cable is securely plugged in on both ends.
If you can log into frontview, then maybe download the full log zip from the NAS, and look for errors there. FWIW, ethernet stats are in network_settings.log - but this could be something else, not necessarily an ethernet problem.
Thanks Stephen,
I've located said log, and it looks like there are afew errors
RX packets.... 4 errors?

It appears you have jumbo frames enabled. If you do and something on the network doesn't support them (or the packet length specified), it can cause a lot of issues. Have you tried disabling them?
- Hi, thanks for the reply, I actually enabled it to see if it sped things up abit, but no :(
I’m going to buy a new cable and see how that goes

Yes, over 100M received packets. Those aren't enough errors to explain a major slowdown. The bulk of the network errors were reported on the PC, and those are on the PC RX (so the NAS TX).
If jumbo frames aren't helping, then you should turn them off.
Have you looked for disk errors in system.log and kernel.log?
Thankyou. I've had a look at the logs, and took a screenshot of the last ones, there looks like there could be something going on
upnp isn't going to work with your ethernet connection setup.
I don't think those errors will cause a network slowdown. But you could turn off the upnp and bonjour services in Frontview (Services->Discovery Services) and see.
