Stuck on IP 192.168.168.168

 

192.168.168.168 is the failover address when DHCP fails.  You might check the router config and make sure that it has enough addresses to hand out. 

 

Are you connecting both NICs on the ultra?  If so, try removing one of the cables. If not try moving the cable to the other port.  

 

 

 

 

Hello Soccerman18,

 

Try setting up a static IP of 192.168.168.5 on your computer first. Then you shoudl be able to acces sthe admin page of the NAS via hhttp://192.168.168.168. Once logged in, go to Network > Interfaces on the left blue panel. You should be able to see the following:

 

IP assignment:

IP address:

Netmask:

 

Set IP assignment to Use Values from DHCP server, then tyoe a valid IP address that is with the same IP range of your router in the IP address field. For example, if the router is 192.168.1.1, you can set a 192.168.1.x where x being any number between 1 and 255 and not being used by any other LAN device on the network, netmask is 255.255.255.0.

 

Apply the changes, once it took it, you will lose the admin page. Remove the static IP address you have set on the computer, set it to Obtain IP address automatically and Obtain DNS addresses automatically.

 

Then try to check if you will be able to access the NAS again, this time using the new IP address you have set on the NAS - http:// <new IP address>.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Regards,
