ReadyNAS Duo connection failed on new iMac

My old iMac died and I got a new one and transferred everything using a Thunderbolt cable. I can see the ReadyNAS drives, but when I click on them, it says "Connection Failed." I installed RAIDar_Mac_4_3_8.dmg on the new computer in case that was the problem, but it still isn't connecting.

 

I have a client that needs something urgently and I can't access my files!

 

RND2000-100NAS

RAIDar_Mac_4_3_8.dmg

iMac OS X El Capitan

    Read the link I posted.

    There is an ethernet cable running from the drive to my computer.  So it isn't physically connected to my router.  I'm not sure if it connects to it over wifi?


    Normally the NAS is connected to your router.  You should then be able to access it over WiFi connections.  NAS-> "Network Attached Storage".

     

    How did you access the NAS before you upgraded the MAC?

      Do you recall which firmware is on the NAS (or can you see it in RAIDar)?

        I'm not sure what firmware is and I RAIDar doesn't detect anything connected to my computer.
