Readynas duo daisy chain to Thunderbolt issues
I need some help as I am in way over my head.
I upgraded to a new Macbook Pro with thunderbolt display. I also bought a Promise Pegasus DAS. I connected my Netgear NAS to the Promise with a Ethernet to Thunderbolt adapter.
Finder sees the Netgear as a shared device – both AFP and CIFS – but cannot open it to display the folders there.
The Netgear Raidar also sees the NAS with an IP address of 192.168.168.168. It cannot go the the setup as it says that the NAS is on a different subnet.
I have tried a lot of different options - manually changing everything, etc. but I cannot get it to work - see this thread http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2015989&p=-1&#bottom
Is there any way to make this work??

- Since your Mac is connected to two networks with the same I.P. address range it would be confused as to which network to use to connect to your NAS.

How do I fix this?
I can limit the range of the Airport to less than 100 and keep the Ethernet-Thunderbolt at 100 - or more.
Will that help?- You could get your router to issue I.P. addresses in a different range e.g. 192.168.1.x
Would be best though to connect the NAS directly to your router mdgm wrote: You could get your router to issue I.P. addresses in a different range e.g. 192.168.1.x
Would it be worthwhile to go to the previous settings of 10.0.x.x??
And then keep the Ethernet-Thunderbolt adapter as you suggested?- Do I leave the NAS on the setting of 192.168.168.168?
- Yes you could try that
Yes leave the NAS on its default setting mdgm wrote: You could get your router to issue I.P. addresses in a different range e.g. 192.168.1.x

It works fine through the router. I just thought it will be much faster using Thunderbolt.- I'll set the router back to its previous setting and keep the Ethernet adapter and NAS as you suggested and give it one more go. If it doesn't work, maybe the NAS cannot function like this.
- Direct-connections are typically used when troubleshooting network/performance issues.
NAS units are Network Attached Storage units. It's best to connect them to a router/switch mdgm wrote: Direct-connections are typically used when troubleshooting network/performance issues.

Thanks for all the help. Like I said, I'll give it one more go and then that's it.
