Web interface stops responding after a while

I have a ReadyNas Duo

Name: RAIDiator
Version: 4.1.7
Date: Sat Nov 6 00:09:53 2010

(actually, I have two, at different locations, on different networks).

I have noticed that after some time (not sure how long, maybe hours or days) I get no response when trying to log in to the web interface on either box. I've tried it from various PCs and different browsers.

I can ping the NAS box successfully (it has a static IP address) and I can still access the shares from windows and I can still stream media no problem. Same goes for the other NAS box.

Just can't access the web interface.

If I hold the blue button on the front to restart the box, once it stops flashing, the web interface works again. For a while.

It seems the web server goes to sleep after a while and stops responding. The firmware is nearly a year old. Perhaps there should be an update due out by now that might fix this problem.

Is this a known problem?

  • I can confirm that I have the same problem with the web interface stopping. It is really annoying and to have to do things manually to solve the problem (such as unplugging the cable) is tedious. Anyone's got a clue on what the root cause might be?
  • My web server used to freeze almost weekly, but hasn't for for a year now, I can only put the down to having the latest firmware. are you using the latest?
