ReadyCloud says its offline - access ok via explorer

[DonQ]

I received the NAS RN204 yesterday,  Set it up, connected, trasnferred initial lot of data.

This morning went to work on it and after logging on to ReadyCloud via browser a message came up saying that there were no drives or USB.

Rebooted and after logging on still no access, tells me that the unit s offline. Under the 'Manage' tab the message was to check power nad internet conneection.

Have tried the 'discovery' option. Did not work,

I have mapped the directories on the NAS via file explorerer and I can access the data, transfer data etc. The internet is connected.

There seems to be a problem with ReadyNAS OS 6.2

Read through the forum, cannot find any solutions.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers

Stephen

Solved. I still cannot access straight away via the browser when I start up. However when I run RAIDar it finds the RN204 and everything is fine from there. It seems that each time I have to run RAIDar first. Cheers Stephen

That suggests that your NAS IP address might be changing when you start up the NAS.  You can try reserving the IP address in your router.
