Readynas 204 reboot message phy_ethtools_set_wol+4
Hi, I hope someone can help. I select Restart in my ReadyNas control panel to try to refresh my DLNA cache to pick up some new items which hadn't appeared. After rebooting, the RN204 was ...
I believe we already fixed this bug -- you are using 6.4.2. You're a major version and about 2 minor versions behind.

Hi Kohdee,
Thank you very much for mentioning this.
It appears that my ReadyNAS doesn't check properly for updates so I assumed it was up to date. Clicking on check for updates makes the spinny thing go round for about 10 seconds and then stop. That is something that I will need to investigate separately.

Hello,
I investigated and found that the DNS settings were causing it not to find the updates.
I have applied the update 6.5.1 and the ReadyNas rebooted and now I have the message (null)+0 on the display.
It seems one problem leads to another so I hope that this is simple to fix.
Regards,
Rob
The saga continues.
Having left it for a little while and with no obvious disk activity, I powered the ReadyNAS off.
I powered it back on and now it reports 'No IP Address'.
It has an IP prior to reboot because I accessed it, the network cable has not changed and nothing has changed on the network so this is definitely some kind of problem with the firmware update as that is the only thing that changed.
I then searched the forums for 'no ip address' and amazingly found a topic that includes both my original message and the previous one as well, so I don't know if all of these problems are related.
But now, I have the problem where the RN204 has no IP, I can't access it and am stuck :-(

You're right, the ReadyNAS doesn't provide great error handling for no network connection. I have a few requests in to get better error handling. If you don't have internet connection, it can't check for updates, so it just assumes that there are no updates (which is a bad assumption). Sorry about that.
