Using RAIDar to change IP address
Is there anyway to use RAIDar to change the IP address of my NV+? I just changed the IP address of my router, and I need to change the IP address and gateway information for the NV+. Is there a simple...
Well almost. It becomes a problem if the router address range changes - For instance from 192.168.0.x to 192.168.1.x. Then the static address won't work.

BTW, 2xx is fine, but be careful not to use x.x.x.255. That is a broadcast address.
This problem comes up often enough in the forum. Being able to change it in RAIDar (with the NAS/ADMIN password) would be elegant, though it mightrequire some clever programming.
