ReadyNAS 104 LCD Error: "Cannot connect discovery server"
It seems to work fine, but this cosmetic problem covers up the name/IP on the LCD and keeps the LCD lit which will burn it out sooner than would be ideal. This is on a ReadyNAS 104 running firmware 6...
Good day,
I recently purchased a Netgear ReadyNAS 104. I utilize a static configuration & my network setup as follows:
Netgear Cable Modem > ASUS RT-N56U Router <> TP-Link Gigabit Switch > Netgear ReadyNAS 104 (Firmware 6.2.2)
ASUS RT-N56U Router LAN IP: 192.168.1.254
Netgear ReadyNAS 104 IP: 192.168.1.199
ASUS Router > main PC (192.168.1.2)
ASUS Router <> TP-Link Switch
TP-Link Switch > server (192.168.1.5)
TP-Link Switch > Netgear (192.168.1.199)
As indicated above, I have a server (192.168.1.5/255.255.255.0/192.168.1.254) connected through the Switch and am able to connect to the ReadyNAS web interface on 192.168.1.199 from either main PC or server with no connectivity issues whatsoever.
For some odd reason, the Netgear display indicates "Cannot connect discovery server". As some have suggest adding DNS servers [8.8.8.8] should fix this problem, however even after a reboot of the Netgear, the same message still exists.
I have scaled the forums looking for answers, but there does not seem to be a definitive solution. If I may please rack the brains of community members and any tips/tricks/feedback to solve this would be greatly appreciated. Cheers :)
