Unable to access NAS Admin page and 2 IPs in RAIDar

I have finally recovered my data from the broken Ultra 2 Plus and am have just factory reset the new 314 with the original disks in.

I changed the NAS to Flexraid and it resynced and now I'm copying all data back.

However, I can only access the NAS from my desktop. I get a connection refused from my laptop.

I read about a frontview problem, but I am running 6.2.3-T1817, so I understand that should not have the problem, but this is intermittent, for example I just tried on this laptop and it failed, now I started typing this message and tried again and now it works...

Also, RAIDar shows me two IPs. Only one cable is connected and both MAC addresses are the same. Both IPs can be pinged. Some dark magic in place eh?

    Did you try rebooting your router?

    No, I am currently in the process of copying data back to the NAS. I now got access back again, but odd thing is that that I have two command windows copying data from a local drive to a NAS drive letter, assigned when the IP address was .163, but if I try to ssh to .163 I get connection refused, so if I try to ssh to .164, the second IP shown in RAIDar, I get connected...

    ifconfig -a shows .163 for the eth1, but netstat shows I'm connected on .164

    Frontview shows the card set to .164

    Confused...?

    Not sure why you are seeing two I.P.s

    Have you tried an OS Re-install?

    As for the admin page not working intermittently. It is not clear from the logs as to why this is happening.

    I've just left it as it is in case you wanted to do anything, but I'll reboot and see what happens now. If it happens again, I'll raise this again.
