Static IP address for Nas
How do I fix the IP address of the NAS so it is static. Please help
Hi Sandshark. I have that headache of a different submask! Raidar sees the drives and says all is ok but pc will not see the drives. Is there any way out of this please.
I am ok with pcs - but not Win10. My old submask was x.x.0.x new one is x.x.1.x. I used a fixed address for the NAS, a Readynas Duo v2 of x.x.0.100.
Thanks
Spike.
An OS re-install will switch it back to DHCP. Be careful not to do a factory default by mistake. Re-install loses no data and resets minimal things (DHCP and admin password), but a default wipes everything. Alternately, connect a PC directly to it and manually assign it an address in the same subnet, then go in and change the NAS to DHCP. If you have ReadyNAS Remote enabled, I think you can also still go in through that and change it.
Many thanks, I have an old XP machine which should do it.
That reply was a great help. I will let you know how I get on.
