OK.
Quick question about the direct connect. I've re-read instructions and want to make sure I don't screw up access the the NAS. My router currently assigns addresses by DHCP. In the router, I have made the addresses to the NAS and my desktop static (after they were assigned). Needed that for rsync backups, so the addresses didn't move around.
Now, for the direct connect, do I want to go into frontview, where it still says the address is assigned by DHCPeven though the router now treats it as static, and simply change it temporarily to be static. Or can I leave it as is, change the IPv4 address on the client and simply plug the client into the NAS?
