Won't reset at all, have pushed the button numerous times, its dead. Tried the online reset, but the link is dead, it goes nowhere. Can't do setup in RAIDar, it won't recognize my password. Went into password recovery, and it won't work either. RAIDar sees the NAS, I can ping it, but Win 10 doesn't see it in the network, don't know why. Really frustrated.
Model: ReadyNASRND4000v2|ReadyNAS NV+ v2 Chassis only
I am working with a win 10 OS. I don't know the firmware. I obviously don't know anything about these NAS, because I don't even know where to find it. The NAS came with a disc which contained RAIDar and NTI Shadow, nothing else. I have no dashboard that so many people speak about. What am I missing? Do you access this thing with DOS?
Interesting comment about the version because right on the label it says its v3. That all sounds so weird to me. Have I got a freak?
Check if the device shows up on the utility and tell us if it obtains an IP address from your network. Also, send us a PM together with the serial number of your unit.
RAIDar finally accepted my password, the same one I have been trying to make it take....weird. I updated firmware. Strange thing happens. Right after update the NAS shows in my Windows network, but I can't access it. Gives me an error about socket and protocol missing. Sorry, I didn't write it down. Then on reboot, the NAS disappears again from Windows network.
1. Already have RAIDar on the PC, but I updated it.
2. ReadyNAS already hooked to network via Lan
3. Remove all four HD's and booted it up.
4. The ReadyNAS shows up in RAIDar, IP address is 192.168.1.10, of course it shows its empty with no disks. Serial number of NAS is 23J51A7700255..
I guess you missed the part about this thing won't reset. I have tried numerous times. I have pushed that button so many times its insane. It does absolutely nothing.
If you just type net use do you see the connection?
Something like this:
c:\>net use New connections will not be remembered.
Status Local Remote Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK T: \\10.0.0.10\c Microsoft Windows Network The command completed successfully.
in entering only c:\>net use at cmd I get: New connection will be remembered. There are no entries in this list.
Since this looked good I went ahead and typed your original lines in. Then again I get the error 67. Is there something weird wrong with this Windows Network?
Brian: I have already done this twice, will another attempt help any better? What difference does it make if I do it with a USB flash drive compared to download update through RAIDar? Gets the same job done. If you look back at previous posts you will see my comments on the second time I reloaded the firmware. It was weird.
Well I tried. I have never used Rawrite32, so I don't know what the heck I am doing. I downloaded it and set it to my image files. It kicks out data on the hashes. Then when I write to my USB drive I get an error #6 write error to disk. I downloaded everything again incase there was an error in a file, but I consistently get that same error message.
I quickly tested it on a USB flash drive in FAT32 format and it worked just fine. Download a fresh copy of the said image file from the link I posted on my last reply and use another USB flash drive, and give it another go.
BrianL: I finally got it to go. I had to try 4 USB flash drives before one would fly. But it ran ok, I think, it looked ok. But I still cannot see the NAS in my computer or on the network. Something new, I think because I don't remember ever seeing it before is a USB drive that won't load. That shows up under devices and printers (w10). It gives an error 43 device descriptor request failed. I tried a number of the fixes shown online, but none have worked. So I am going to strip back my USB devices by unconnecting them to see if I can find it. I haven't added anything new lately, so I am not sure what this is. Plus everything seems to work, except for the NAS. Of course, I have no idea if this is related to the NAS. I just thought I should mentioin it.
Have you checked if the device can be seen or detected using the RAIDar software? Also, is there an IP address on the LCD screen when you press the power button (once)?
Yes, RAIDar sees it, shows all the drives and the IP address. Pushing the power button once it does show the IP address. Yes, its the same as what RAIDar shows. I can ping it.
Thanks for the information that you have provided. For the meantime, let's set aside the network access. Have you tried accessing the Frontview or the admin page? How about accessing the shares via File Explorer? Check this page for further instructions.
I cannot access the NAS through Windows Explorer using the IP address or host name. I get an error saying there is a problem with the network. My FrontView looks different than that shown in the article. I can't find the items shown in the article for sharing and setting security.
