I want to thank you because without your help, I would have given up a long time ago.
This nas frustrated me for a couple of weeks straight, but I don't give up easily.
This is what I did in case it helps anyone else.
I had to get an old router and configure it with a static ip of 192.168.168.1 and enable dhcp on it.
Then i configured my laptop to accept dhcp ip assignment and I connected it to the router.
I did an os reinstall on the nas with just disk one and then I connected it to the router.
I started raidar and it found the nas right away, and the setup button was not greyed out.
I got an error about the browser and had to enable my old internet explorer as the default browser, and after that raidar was able to open the frontview interface.
I could not use the browser to set it up and had to use raidar.
I cannot thank you enough for sticking with me and all my questions.
God bless you!
Thanks for the reply.
I removed it from my home network years ago for the same reason. I could not access it.
It does not show up in RAIDar, so I do not know its IP assignment.I was reading similar posts and I do not know if it was assigned a different IP by another router, or if it is some weird static IP.
I think my only hope is a reset, but I am probably not doing it right.
I downloaded the manual and I think when I get home I am going to try to do an OS reinstall by accessing the boot menu.
I don't need the IP for that.
But I am unclear when it comes to different IP's. If my home network router is 10.0.0.1 and the factory IP of the NAS is 192.168.168.168, will it show up in RAIDar?
And once reset, will it accept ip assignment by my present router?
Thanks a lot!

Yes, it will.

An OS reinstall will reset the network configuration to DHCP.
But if you aren't seeing the NAS with RAIDar, then something else might be wrong.
Is the ethernet LED on the back of the NAS lit?
Yes the ethernet connector is lit.
Should I plug it directly to a laptop?
Thanks!

First I would power down the NAS, remove the hard drives (labeling by slot), and power it up again. Then see if RAIDar finds it.
When done, power down before reinserting the drives (and put them back into the correct slot).
I will have to wait until tonight to try that.
Thanks,
