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I was having trouble loading Spotty on LMS Web interface due to the outdated standard SSL version on this device.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 ca...

...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
ifconfig
and the DNS server IPs with
cat /etc/resolv.conf
Then also see if you can ping an external address
ping 8.8.8.8
and resolve an external dns name.
nslookup dns.google.com

OK, 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
TX Packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier: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?

IP is not enabled on the NIC. You should be seeing something like
inet addr:x.x.x.x Bcast:x.x.x.255 Mask:255.255.255.0after between the Link encap line and the UP line for ipv4 (and potentially and inet6 addr line for ipv6).
Do any of your interfaces have the inet addr line? (other than local loopback)

I switched back to the other NIC; now I get this:
Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr e8:fc:af:e6:aa:f8
