Hi mspetersen,

 

It is possible that your old NV+ and the one that you just bought have different firmwares. Also consider that it might have different IP settings. I suggest that you connect the ReadyNAS to your computer and check the RAIDar utility to see if it sees it. If it sees it, ensure that your PC matches the same IP settings of the ReadyNAS for you to be able to access it.

 

Let me know what happens.

 

 

Kind regards,

    Hi mspetersen,

     

    Thank you for your feedback. When its on your LAN network and shows up on the RAIDar utility, does its IP address match the IP address used on your LAN network? You can check your MAC computer's IP address by going to System Preferences -> Network then look for your LAN or WLAN (wireless).

     

    I look forward to your response.

     

     

    Kind regards,

      If I give my iMac and the NV+ the identical IP address (in this case 10.0.1.91) nothing appears on RaidAR. If I change my iMac to 10.0.1.92, then the NV+ will show up on RaidAR, but I only see a folder called "Homes" and none of the rest of the data on the Hard Drives.

        Hi mspetersen,

         

        Sorry. It shouldn't match the IP address but it should be on the same segment or order, where the last octet or number will be different. Anyway, what is the Firmware version running on the ReadyNAS/
