ReadyNAS Duo RND2110 v1 - Struggling to access files
Hi All,
I have an old, but very important (to me) RND2110 device - it has all my photos stored as a 'safe backup'. Well now I have changed homes, routers and setup (laptops etc). I now cannot access my ReadyNas device.
I have successfully ran RAIDAR and it can see the devices, but my laptop won't let me connect to them!
I am looking to borrow a friends laptop to see if my laptop settings are locked down and preventing me.
but when i attempt to connect 192.168.1.229 (with either /media share or admin page - I get the same 'this site can't be reached' / 192.168.1.229 refused to connect error...

Any ideas?
One possibility is that you assigned a static IP address to the NAS at some point in the past - and that IP address isn't compatible with your current router's local LAN configuration.
Does the PC also have a 192.168.1.xxx local address? Or are some of the first three numbers different?

A "backup" is (by definition) an additional copy of something - not the ONLY copy. If the NAS holds the only copy of these photos, then it is "primary storage", and not a "backup".
If that is your situation, then you should know that RAID is not enough to keep your data safe. One aspect here is that you are storing your data on a device that is 10+ years old. You need another copy on a different device (or possibly the cloud). So you should take care of that after you restore access.
