RN102 will not Acquire and IP and Connect to Network
Here is the situation. I have a ReadyNAS 102 version 6.10.2 connected to a Netgear 16 port Gbit switch which is then connected to my Netgear WNR3500 wireless Router which provided the assigned IP...

(c) try using different ethernet cabling. - Already tried, same result
Are the other devices on the switch behaving normally? - Yes all other devices are working fine once I cleared the IP conflict issue since all devices are not using the routers DHCP service to get their IP, no MAC address reseversation.
What model switch are you using? - I will have to look later, however, I am 99% certaint this is not the issue at this point since it works for everything else I plugged into it.
At one point I was thinking the ENET port on the NAS went bad, until I plugged NAS into the router and it used the originally MAC address reservation IP (192.168.1.10) and showed up on the network, it keep reusing this IP address and I knew this would be problematic since the rounter is only using DHCP and the NAS turns on and off each day. I finally the NAS will put a new IP address when it turns on when directly to the router but when the switch is between the router and NAS the it fails to acquire an IP address and self assigns.
Did you also set a static IP in the NAS? If so, it may now be conflicting with another device since it's not reserved.

The NAS IP is set to DHCP, along with all the hardwire devices, I used the router to set the IP address. I ran into the IP conflict issue in the past when I set each hardware device to a static IP and the decieve was not connect or turned on at the time when other devices connected. The router was originally set to have all MAC address reservation set between xxx.xxx.1.2 and xxx.xxx.1.99 and the DHCP server was set to xxx.xxx.1.100 to xxx.xxx.1.255. This originally ensured the DHCP address never crossed over to the static IP addresses.
