ReasyNAS looses connectivity ....
I have a ReadyNas NV+. I performed a factory reset using the pin hole slot on the back of the device. Now when the device boots i can ping it momentarily then the message "Requesting IP ...." appears ...
You shouldn't be using anything older than 4.1.7 with the WD20EARS. A factory default should be done after updating to 4.1.7+.
Using 4.1.6 would explain getting ATA errors (which you mentioned getting in another thread). There's a compatibility issue with 4.1.6 and prior that leads to getting 6 ATA errors on each reboot. Without a compatibility issue like this normally ATA errors would be a sign of impending disk failure.
Do you have any other disks you could try to boot the NAS with and update the firmware?
If not, could you try doing a factory default with just one disk installed, updating to 4.1.7 or later then powering down, putting all disks in and doing another factory default.
