ReadyNAS NV+ shows up in my Mac Finder but will NOT connect.

iMac running Ventura 13.6.3

-> connected via ethernet cable direct to NAS

ReadyNAS NV+ 

 

RAIDar scan does not find NAS

NAS visible in Finder under 'Location' and appears under 'Network'

 

Names of drive appears when 'Network' clicked in Finder:

BromNAS appears

BromNAS (CIFS) appears

- double clicking either of these results in no action

 

ReadyNAS LCD display reads:

ReadyNAS is running with 4 solid green HDD lights

C: 2.4/4.0 T free

192.168.168.168 

 

Under Mac settings -> Network -> Ethernet:

Manually configured IP address to 192.168.168.100

 

HELP Please. I am a networking noob lacking knowledge to get me into my NAS and able to retrieve the data. 

 

(I tried searching for an answer but couldn't find it. If there is a solution, please point me there)

 

Kind thanks in advance.

    This IP address is used when DHCP fails.  Did you try powering down the NAS and rebooting it?

     

    One possibility is that the ethernet connection on the NAS has failed.  Did you check the ethernet LED on the back?
