ReadyNAS says "No IP Address": I can connect to it, but it cannot connect to Internet
I was having trouble loading Spotty on LMS Web interface due to the outdated standard SSL version on this device.
Following laborious instructions on this Forum I managed to update SSL, and now I can load Spotty, BUT I can't run it - as the ReadyNAS has lost all ability to connect outside the local network.
I can connect to it locally OK with my PC and run the Admin menu, but t cannot check for updates, cannot run Spotty, can't connect to ReadyCLOUD etc. It says "Cannot Get IP Address", even though it has a local one.
Does anyone gave any idea what's going on? It happened immediately I updated the SSL certificate - could that be the cause?
I'm assuming that I will have to RESET the device, perform a lot of Firmware updates, and live with the old SSL certificate - but Internet access is more important than seeing Spotty on the menu!

...I should add that I have:
- changed the NIC
- changed the cable
- rebooted my Router
- rebooted the ReadyNAS (several times)
Have you done any troubleshooting with ssh?
Checking the gateway configuration with
route -n | grep 'UG[ \t]' | awk '{print $2}'the subnet mask with
ifconfigand the DNS server IPs with
cat /etc/resolv.confThen also see if you can ping an external address
ping 8.8.8.8and resolve an external dns name.
nslookup dns.google.comOK, this is weird, as they all appear to work:
route -n | grep 'UG[ \t]' | awk '{print $2}'gets me the Router IP
ifconfig
gets me, for the active NIC:
Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr e8:fc:af:e6:aa:f8
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX Packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

Interrupt:19 Memory:fe800000-fe820000
cat /etc/resolv.conf
gets me:
# Generated by Connections Manager
search home
nameserver 192.168.1.1 [the router]
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nslookup dns.google.com
get me 8.8.8.8 and
8.8.4.4
That all seems to be good doesn't it?
